Ronaldus Maximus was brought into this world 100 years ago this Sunday. I'm gonna eat some Jellybeans with a good Single Malt.

Fisrt President I voted for as a Senior in High School.

I am half way through "An American Life"... his autobiography. It's been a good read so far. Policy aside, anybody who has held that office is going to have something interesting to say at the very least.

Happy birthday, Dutch.

His second term was my first time voting. Still the best ballot I ever cast. RIP

I read "The Reagan Diaries" out in Yuma doing WTI support a few years ago. Very, very interesting read.

I also had the opportunity, thanks to a lousy forecast and a resulting IFS solo cancellation, to view his funeral procession in DC, and I will not forget it. A fitting, if somber, tribute.

At the time, I was working downtown. Had the privilage to attend in person.

I grew up in his hometown in Illinois, lived across the street from the Reagan memorial home there while he was POTUS. He was a great President in my opinion. Happy Birthday Mr. President.
