We were home. We had invited a few people over for a "Smarty Party". Problem was they weren't that much interested in it other than watching the 2+ minutes it took to run the race.
Prior to the race, the announcement that President Reagan had died seemed like a bad omen.
I was very sad but couldn't seem to articulate how I felt because our company didn't seem to care that Smarty lost. Bill and I went outside and commiserated with one another and then returned to feed the party goers.
