I ate peanut butter today, spoon after spoon. I couldn’t stop. It was the crunchy kind and after I finally quit my breath smelled exactly like peanuts. I didn’t like it. It made me feel like greedy jerk so I brushed my teeth. There’s my mouth hygiene story of the day. :-) I was in the office alone all day. Good times. I read and wrote and sung. And then this evening I watched Ronald Reagan’s funeral. It was probably the saddest thing I’ve ever seen on TV. I don’t think I have ever cried so hard except for after my mom’s funeral. The things that his family said about him were so touching. And then at the end Nancy went up to the coffin and patted it and put her head against it. It was like watching someone in your own family. Forget about Sid and Nancy, let’s talk about Ron and Nancy. If there was ever was a perfect marriage it would be theirs. For the last few years of his life he didn't even recognize her anymore but right before he died he looked at her and remembered her. And that is probably the most romantic thing I've ever heard. He wrote love letters to her his whole life. Here’s some excerpts that really got to me: “I live in a permanent Christmas because God gave me you.” In a letter to mark their 31st anniversary, written on “Aboard Air Force One” stationery, he notes that their marriage remains “an adolescent’s dream of what marriage should be like.” “You are life itself to me.” "When you aren't there I'm no place, just lost in time and space. I more than love you, I'm not whole without you." Geez. I shouldn’t be so upset about it. I was just a kid when he was the president but I just can’t get that picture of him out of my head. It’s the one I posted. Who wouldn’t love and miss that guy, even if you never knew him. It makes me think of everything that America is and was and will be. And I don’t know anything about his presidency but I know a lot about the man and if we were all as good hearted and decent as he was, the world would be perfect.
