Okay, where the hell have I been? George W. is coming to Waterbury, CT today, the town where I work and where my mother lives. As a matter of fact, his helicopter, Marine One, should be landing right now up at Bradley International. He'll be visiting an elementary school in my mother's neighborhood. I had no idea. How pathetic is that? He's not my favorite president, but he's still President of the United States and how many opportunities do you get to see one in person in your life? So far zippo for me. Now I understand what those gigantic Army helicopters were doing landing in the trees up on the hill off the highway the other night.

I better call my mother and see if she knows.
