Kevin and I decided to hit St. John's Episcopal this morning; I had been before, but not to this early of a service. Upon arriving at the church, we were searched and scanned before being allowed in, so we knew someone important was there. We made our way to our seats, and noticed that President Bush was sitting in the middle section of the church with his wife. We sat to their right in another section of pews, one row ahead of them; we were probably only 25 feet from them the whole time. They participated in the service just like everyone else (the Eucharist included), and before he left he (to the immediate right of the pillar) stopped and greeted a group of children sitting in front of us, while Laura (in green) spoke with one of the rectors. This was the only picture I could take, and it's a bit blurry, but it gets the job done. I really like the church, and I'm planning to keep attending the 9 o'clock service. But maybe I'll occasionally go to that early service and try to get some better photos. In any case, it was a surreal experience, to say the least.

Church with the President

I couldn't concentrate on anything for ten whole minutes after I saw the 2006 Australian Idol on a street in Sydney. Could you even begin to focus on the service?
Wow. Do you think it would sound aggressive if you told him that you know someone interested in his job? It's almost an election year, so I guess that's probably an affirmative... But you could mention I don't want it for another, oh, 20 years or so. Age limit issues. And maybe make it sound nice... haha.
Hi Danny!
