Guess where I'm typing this right now? At an iMac in the Vassar College Center! Reunion is so amazing. The past two days have been incredible and I am going to write all about it on this blog very soon. But first some thoughts on non-reunion related matters.

Ronald Reagan passed away this morning. After ten years of being ravaged by Altzheimers, I'm glad that he is no longer suffering. Although I am no fan of his presidency or his policies, his passing is nonetheless a sad moment for America and I extend my sympathies to Nancy. Speaking of Nancy, I have to give her all the credit in the world for voicing her support of stem-cell research. The Bush Administration's opposition to it makes no sense - yet another case where policy has been hijacked by religious ideology. But Nancy realizes that the research opens a world of opportunities - who knows, maybe it can cure Altzheimers. Hopefully in the coming media frenzy over Reagan's death and funeral, Nancy will stress the importance of this matter.

Yet again, a horse wins the Kentucky Derby, wins the Preakness, but chokes in the Belmont Stakes. This time the choker was Smarty Jones. The worst part was Smarty had the race won! A four-leg lead that all of a sudden vanishes from a horse that came from nowhere to surpass it. And the hopes of all horse racing fans are dashed...again.

Don't worry, a full detailed reunion recap is coming to this blog very soon! Stay tuned.
