Woah! So I never got to write about my press conference. On Wednesday, I went to the Peter Buffett/Spirit The Seventh Fire press conference at the Josyln because my boss couldn't make it. It was all ... art deco formal, and small, but every major local outlet was represented. It was neat to be there with vet. reports and such, all though I'll admit it was intimidating at first and the first time I spoke I was a bit tounge-tied. There were breadsticks, water, and wine. LOL. Anyways, I met Peter Buffett, and I knew Warren Buffett would be there also, but I didn't know what he looked like. I met Peter Buffett's wife and Mayor Fayhe, and eventually Mrs. Warren Buffett sat down by me. What a cute old lady! She was really proud of her son, and was taking a press packet home to keep. Anyways, half way through she moved so she could see better, and this old guy sat down by me. Well, I thought another guy was Warren, but it was actually him! There were cammeras there, but the only one I saw labeled from a major TV station was above my head, so I figured I wouldn't be on TV. I came into the office the next morning, and my editor said, "You and Warren Buffett, huh?!" Evidently the two of us sitting together were on the news!! You know what I love? Young professionals. There's a total connection there. Peter's personal press assistance Matt. And the Golden Corral owner's son, but to a lesser extent. There's just something there. Also, I have to quote the Reuter's report, because it's excellent, in my unexperienced opinion. "Reagan suffered from the brain-wasting Alzheimer's disease since 1994 and the man who held five summits with Mikhail Gorbachev was reduced to playing children's games with his wife before his condition worsened and he entered the last stages of the disease, recognizing no one.

Ronald Wilson Reagan, the son of an alcoholic shoe salesman in Illinois, began his career broadcasting baseball games in the Middle West, games whose plays he would make up off a sports ticker. He moved to Hollywood and became a fixture of the B-movie scene. His most famous line came in the football film "Knute Rockne, All American" where as dying player George Gipp, Reagan uttered the line, "Just win one for the Gipper." But as his career faded in the 1950s and 60s, Reagan used his job as the anti-Communist president of the Screen Actor's Guild as training for a career shift to politics where he ultimately starred on the world stage in better roles than he ever had in any of his 50 movies. Inspired by Barry Goldwater's conservatism, he switched parties and became a Republican in 1962 and ran twice successfully as California's governor. As president from 1981 to 1989, he presided over a conservative revival that changed America's political and economic landscape for years. Dozens of major politicians dominating the scene today, including President Bush, owe their inspiration to what was called "The Reagan Revolution." ture of the B-movie scene.

At 6 p.m. EDT a wreath of red and white flowers was placed on Reagan's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame but only a couple of people were around to watch on a bright Saturday that had most people at the beach.
