I sat down this afternoon and wrote a nice post for the blog, about Reagan, memory, death, etc. It was pretty good. Unfortunately, I wrote it longhand on a yellow legal pad, and now it’s too late and I’m too tired to type it up. Maybe tomorrow.

Just a note then, on the burial of Ronald Reagan in Simi Valley this evening.

I thought Nancy Reagan couldn’t have comported herself with more dignity. And I was impressed with the Eulogies of Reagan’s kids as well. Way to stand up and do it for the Gipper.

The main reason I watched it, however, was the honor guards. There’s just something about those guys that fascinates me. It’s moving to watch their precision and poise. Nobody loves a good American ceremony more than me. Especially when they do a missing man flyover with the jets. Great stuff.
