Friday, President Bush was in town for a town hall meeting. I was there. I think I have been to 15-20 presidential visits. No matter the person, the respect for the office makes it an enjoyable experience for me to go to. This was my first post 9-11 one to go to and I found the security a whole lot tighter than I remembered.
A couple of years ago, I took my parents down to Plains, GA on Fathers' Day. We went to Maranatha Baptist Church and had Jimmy Carter as our Sunday School teacher. Yes, that Jimmy Carter. That is probably my fondest memory of being somewhere with a President. My parents really enjoyed it, too.
A few weeks a go a friend I have kept up with since college called and asked what I was doing this weekend. Long story short, she had tickets for a show here (she lives out of state) and wanted to give them to me and wifey if we could use them. It was John Fogerty and John Mellencamp. Great show but really hot and I dont do well with heat or humidity. Average age was probably in the 50's. We enjoyed watching the people and listening to the music. We laughed as a roadie was walking the seating sections looking for someone to show the bands some southern hospitality. Did I mention the average age was in the 50's? Now think about the roadie again and laugh.
