I hope everybody watched the debate tonight. If you didn’t see it you will have two more chances before the final vote. Make it a point to catch at least one of them. You owe it to your children, parents, friends, etc to make an informed decision.

I’m sure you can tell who I’m voting for!!

And do your part. VOTE! VOTE!! VOTE!!!

Truth had a boy!!

Congrats Jessica. I wish you and your family, especially the new little guy, all the best. Welcome to mommyhood! It’s such an amazing journey!

I’ve watched a lot of this weeks tributes to Ronald Reagan. I watched the procession, the state and federal funerals and the final funeral. I was taken aback with the strength of Nancy Reagan through all of these affairs. Never a tear, never a glimpse of any sort of weakness…

Then, at the very end, they gave her the flag that had traveled thousands of miles across the country shrouding her husband in honor and she finally succumbed to grief. A grief ten years in the making. As she leaned over and kissed the final resting place of her husband, the man that millions of people loved, my heart broke for her.

I never knew Ronald Reagan ‘The president’. I never got the chance to vote for him, I never heard his political spiel, or really what he stood for. What I do know is that even before death, when either Republican or Democrat spoke to me about Ronald Reagan, whether they agreed with his political stance or not, they spoke of the greatness of the man.

“In closing let me thank you, the American people, for giving me the great honor of allowing me to serve as your president. When the Lord calls me home, whenever that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future. I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.”
-R. Reagan, Nov. 5, 1994
