Shot In The Dark: Nineteen Days...

Nineteen Days...

...until Reaganmas.

For those of you who've not been following, February 6 is the birthdate of Ronald Reagan.

For the past three years or so, I've been observing Reaganmas both in my home - taking the kids out to eat (if only McDonald's) and talking with them about the importance of Reagan in their life today - and at work (where I bring in a plate of cupcakes or some such to celebrate the day).

Now, with Reagan's passing, the holiday takes on more importance; it's not entirely tongue-in-cheek anymore.

So I renew my quest, one of the notions that sparked me to start this blog almost three years ago; to remind you all to join me in spreading the word of our next national holiday.

Unfortunately, it is also Super Bowl Sunday this year. But I'm with you Mitch. I plan on listening to "Speaking My Mind" (Reagan's Speeches) and "In His Own Voice" (Reagan's radio addresses).

"Reaganmass", huh? Hm.

Tell you what. Since I live all of a two minute drive from the Reagan Library (it's on a steeeeeep hill that this boy ain't about to walk, maybe I can grab a cupcake myself, drive on up there and say something, I dunno, ceremonial or something.

Lemme know. Should be fun.

I'm in on this one. When does the committee form to have his image carved on Mt. Rushmore?

Pitiful. Sacreligous. Sad. Affronting. Chagrining. Disgusting.
