Been watching it off-and-on. Although I'm kicking myself, because I know it's an historical event, the thing does get...boring...very, very quickly. Still, it is rather emotionally potent, especially whenever they march with the casket to the tune of 'Hail to the Chief'...and Nancy watches pitifully on the proceedings.

On-and-off all day. I really lost it when they were moving the casket on to Air Force One and Nancy Reagan turned around and did the classic Reagan wave before getting in the plane.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

I saw some of the ending in the Capitol.

The military honorguard was very touching...

I'm too busy to be near a tv night time. Since I get all my news by radio and print, I 've seen none of it. I should see it in tomorrow's paper.

One of the CNN channels is running the camera scene inside the capitol dome of the coffin and people just walking by it(possibly the most boring use of television I've ever scene)
