Well, strike me

Wow — a lot can happen while you’re deeply ensconced working on stuff.
Take a moment to look around and you discover that your earlier rant about the possibility of Ronald Reagan’s demise came eerily true when you weren’t watching.
How odd it is, therefore, that the family spokesperson denied that he had taken a turn for the worse, when, as became obvious today, he had.
Sad, when such a famous figure passes away. But even though I thought he was an okay president 20 years ago when I was 18, I’ve learned more and seen more, and realized just what his presidency was. I still wonder what he was like. Was he swept up with advisors who ran the show? Did his presidency really reflect his beliefs?
The thing that is preying on my mind now is this: how many more public buildings, subway stations, and airports are going to be named after the man?
