the death of a president

I was deeply saddened to learn of former President Ronald Reagan's passing. He was president during most of my teenage years into early adulthood and I can't imagine what my life, and that of my family's, would have been like had he not won the presidency when he did.

On a different note, I'm off to Wisconsin for the week to visit family and attend my cousin's wedding. I'm pretty sure I have everything packed... hope Mom has an extra box for me to wrap the wedding present in. Have a super week.
