I would take my kids too, but we live in the middle of NE. THink AF1 will be flying over us on Wednesday?
I'm teaching them love and respect of our President Bush, and "making" them watch the Reagan coverage--they'll remember it in the future, like I rememeber the day he was shot and my parents "made" me watch the news.
CSPAN now carrying if you are tired of commentary.
This is why I think my Mom would have come around to conservatism. She was crying the day Reagan was shot and we watched together. Forget about it when the Challanger blew up, she was a basket case. I know she was a patriot as witnessed when USA won the hockey gold. She cried when Pope was shot but considered herself agnostic. The years before her death were hectic as my brother was in his late teen rebellion stage and I was moving on with my life and met my husband to be so we didnt talk as much as we should have. I was 22 when she died my brother was 17 and he was pretty bad from ages 12 on and there was not much time for me.
Im glad her and I share some similar traits as described above. I guess in hindsight she was doing her best to control my brother.
Oh Nancy, my heart is breaking for you...:~(
