Dear Hippy and Hippy's Wife
While [my wife] and I were staying in downtown Philadelphia over this past weekend, I became aware that Bush would be giving yet another "Sorry we messed up but stay the course anyway" speech at noon on Monday in a hotel three blocks from ours. The rest of this account is not all that exciting - it's not like I got arrested or anything - but I'm still pumped.
The speech didn't change my plans to take the subway to South Philly that morning, but on the way back I was wondering if the station, which is directly in front of his destination, would even be open. It was, and I surfaced into the middle of a crowd of protesters. It was great! I wish I had had a sign too! But I took pictures of my favorite anti-Bush signs and their owners. Did I mention is was so great to be amongst them!
I contrast last Monday with an afternoon in 1959 when some high school buddies and I went to hear President Eisenhower give a speech at Fort Ligonier (PA). I'm sure we were rowdy and self-absorbed, but also respectful of the man and office and proud to be in the crowd. Which is how it should be - and will be again someday, God willing.

Enough Unexplained Absence...
Sorry everybody, The Hippy has been derelict in his blogging duties for nearly 2 weeks. I'll try not to let that happen again.
