It was Sunday morning, and he was leaving the White House for church.<br />I just happened to be in D.C. for work, was jogging by the White House.<br /><br />Saw Ed Muskie once in Memphis. He gave a passionate speech to union members before the 1972 elections.<br /><br />Saw the Queen of England once, also. Lived in Newfoundland as a child. We all stood by a road and watched Queen Elizabeth ride by in her Rolls Royce. She wore a white glove and waved. <br /><br />But I never got to see the Buddha. He's number one on my list.

There were two stretched limos with blacked-out windows in the convoy, presumably to confuse anyone with homicidal intent. <br />My guess is that he was in neither, but was in fact in the ice-cream truck that rolled past ten minutes later. The ultimate anti-terrorist lateral-thinking tactic.<br />Or maybe he was in one of the limos. I dunno.Macnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-58329247041347118942011-04-05T11:23:56.353-07:002011-04-05T11:23:56.353-07:00I, too, am glad to have baseball back, and wondere...I, too, am glad to have baseball back, and wondered the exact same thing about Mr. Stieb.disciplev1noreply@blogger.com
