Posted on 06/15/2003 6:00:39 PM PDT by rintense

President Bush continued his long weekend in Kennebunkport, Maine today, and celebrated Father's Day with his family. Bush made a brief appearance for reporters, and stated that he still believed there is hope for peace in the Mideast, but that the free world 'must deal harshly with Hamas and the killers.' Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

BTW, my brother is home from Baghdad, He said there was no real need for him there, he said, most all of Baghdad's police force is up and running, all 25,000 of them. My sister and younger brother got together with him yesterday for a cookout, I had a great time talking with him about what's going on over there.

Looks like the system's finally back up. I am glad to see you didn't go to bed. Sheesh, I hate the time difference between the two coasts.

Yeah, well, I got that e-mail from him too and it was VERY personal.

I hope the fact that I sent him money doesn't make him think less of me tomorrow.

It was after 10pm EDT, so I figured if FR had had any downtime from the HD exchange, I'd slept through it! Then I tried to post this . . . . ;)

Thanks for the pics, rintense!

Ms.B.: Looking forward to seeing your Kennebunkport pics!

Brad's Gramma: You got "the look" from SS???????

Speaking of the look . . . .

In 1984, while I was an adult student (working full time and going to school full time! <-- forgive the aside, but I point that out because so many people say those w/CFS are either lazy or slacking; sure, 1984 was pre-CFS diagnosis, but one doesn't change work ethic overnight ... “okay, so sometimes I get a bit defensive” moment over) at Findlay College (now University of Findlay), then V.P. Bush spoke when we dedicated the Tennyson Guyer Library.

I was sitting a tad to my left of center stage, but quite a few rows back from the podium. After awhile, I decided it was silly to continue to hold the program -- and perhaps smudge it (because of something in my system, my fingers have always had the tendency to eat the ink off of pages), so I reached for my purse sitting on the floor so I could put my program away.

Now keep in mind that in 1984, security was a bit more lax than it is today, but we still had had to complete some prelim info sheets for our tickets and walked through a scanner and had our purses searched at the door.

About the time I got my purse to my lap and was opening it to slip my program inside, I felt a shift of some sort. I just knew I'd made a false move.

Sure enough, I looked up at Bush and then to his right/my left, and I swear the SS guy's eyes met mine! I looked to my left and my eyes met those of a guy standing off to the side.

I quickly put my program away. Having worked with cops, and knowing (okay, okay: hoping) I didn't have anything to be nervous about, I figured I should just act naturally and we'd all continue to live happily ever after.

I related this story to a friend and he said, "It's a good thing you didn't have one of those cigarette lighters that look like a gun in your purse!" I laughed. Then he said, "I bet that shift you felt that caught your attention were all the laser-scope cross hairs burning into your skull!"

I told him: "Now that you mention it, I'd wondered why these birthmarks on my temples took so long to become visible!"

I think I mentioned this part once, but a part of me still regrets not attending the reception afterwards to meet the future Bush41 up close and personal! (The other part of me knows I made the correct decision for the time: I was a single parent and my daughter was a 7th grade latchkey kid at the time. I'd taken the afternoon off work to attend the speech, so I had a chance to arrive home about the time she got off the bus.)

Thanks for listening while I took up so much of your time ... err ... I mean, while I was giving Ms.B. a chance to get her pics posted. Yeah! That's it! Done yet, Ms.B.? ;)

Well, I'm going to be out of town A LOT this summer, including most of the last week in June, and the first two weeks in July (2 separate places).

How's this week look? (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday)

I am SO glad your brother is home, Mike!

And it's VERY good news that things are moving along in Baghdad. Hopefully the water situation is improving FAST too!!
