President Bush and the First Lady attended the "majestic" funeral for Pope John Paul II today in Rome. The President and the First Lady, as well as, Poppy Bush are heading for the Ranch as I'm typing this. The President spoke to the Press Pool on the way back from Rome.. It is a must read, I will post a link to the interview
Incoming FRmail.
It was interesting. I, like you, read some things between the lines of that press conference. I wished that I knew the names of the journalists asking the questions, I would have been quite curious. I know that Bill Sammons (no doubt W's favorite journalist) was among them, but don't know any others.
whoops nap or knap
Try again nap not knap
Yes, I know others were wearing sunglasses (I can't believe I'm talking about this...). I don't think there's anything inappropriate about wearing sunglasses when you're sitting in the sun and wind for three hours.
But, a smaller, less dramatic frame would have been, IMHO, a better choice for the occasion.
(Still friends??)
Didn't someone mention a couple of nights ago that Laura's eyes were swollen and she might been crying....At the time I thought...They look like mine....It's allergy time!
Out with the contacts (it may have been the reason she holding on to "W"...Can't tell where she's going and is afraid she'll fall and make a spectacle of herself)
..... and on with the colored glasses. My eyes water....Nothing seems to help for two miserable weeks...Sunlight is very painful. SPend alot of time inside........Then it just stops as quickly as it starts.
Could you please fix the date in the title of this thread :-)
Trying to keep up on the Dose tonight! And sleepy because I got up at 3 am to watch the Pope's funeral ceremony
I hear you. I never went to bed. It started here at
midnight and am still awake. I plan to watch at 4am
the Chuck and Camilla todo.
Howdy, I'm back now that the grandkids are heading hiome :-)
Mother taught me all the trees, birds, wildflower, butterflies names at a very young age....Can't remember not knowing them. GSP was one of her role models.

Lucky you! I am jealous!
Personally it does not bother me either way I used to wear contacts and I would have needed sunglasses in that bright sun. Also somepoeple need large lens ones because they have a lot of peripheral vision and smaller ones are not effective because the light is still visable.
Hope you had a great evening with them and thanks for the dose, hope you don't mind that I posted the photos of GWB and Laura arriving back in WACO hope I did not steal your thunder if you had intended to post them upon your return.
Re: duckling names

Hi, Mike!
Watching the replay on EWTN, Father Neuhaus pointed out that this is the largest funeral EVER, for ANYONE. Wonderful. All well behaved.
