  Sad. He died. It's not the man himself or his policies; it's the representation of him as a heroic president during his reign. He was my hero as a budding, young Republican. Like so many of my generation not brought up by former hippies. His extreme ideas aside, he had charm.

93. Good for you, man. I wonder how Alex P. Keaton is handling the news. Mind you, I still have a crush on Oliver North. Even after reading the findings of fact on the Iran-Contra disaster. I brought the document on the plane with me to Italy.
Too young to follow the events as they happened, but again... the media brought me images of the hearing, images etched into my personal history. A quiet afternoon alone with NPR, repainting the downstairs bathroom to get the hang of the crafty fun of having a new home.
