Dawn was frantically calling me calling me around 10:30 a.m. or so, from work, as the motorcade had left the Capitol, where the President had been lying in state, to make its way to the National Cathedral, where would be the funeral.<\/p>\n<p>I was busy and didn&#8217;t answer, until finally like the third call or whatever I finally picked up. Dawn told me that the procession would be coming up Twentieth Street, just a block away from me. I didn&#8217;t have any special reason to want to see President Ford driven by, but then somehow it seemed disrespectful to not walk all of one block. So off I set.<\/p>\n<p>About halfway down the block on M Street I met up with Matt, my boss, who told me that I had just missed him. I could hear the sirens and see the police cars and the ambulance bringing up the rear of the motorcade, but I had missed the funeral procession proper. Matt said he&#8217;d seen the unmistakeable profile of the First Lady, Betty\u00a0Ford, in one of the limos.<\/p>\n<p>Ah well. I kinda sorta saw it. The tail end of it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>So today, Monday, Dawn and I had planned to take the day off to recover from the two days of Christmas celebration, and get done all the chores around the house that we didn&#8217;t have time to do. But we got some stuff done, especially on Saturday, and I&#8217;ve got the meeting with the consultants tomorrow that I need to finish up some stuff for, so I go into work while Dawn stays home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again I&#8217;m at work on a day when I had planned to not be at work.
