Saturday morning, I went for a walk and on my way back I saw Jean, Lois, Alon, Karen and Serge at a distance and then they got closer as I convinced them to have breakfast at the hotel where Dick, Fran, Michelle and Jason were also eating and willing to pose for couples pictures as well as taking this picture of me before Dansyl arrived and I decided to go upstairs to see who was asleep and who was awake as we eventually headed down for breakfast where Alvaro was our waiter and the others watched as my coffee and the juices along with Janet's cousin convinced me to have this fruit plate and the grits to sustain me for the day. Back upstairs, the group gathered and I tried a mirror picture before they went off to the bridesmaids' luncheon and we

left our room and went upstairs to be with the men including the fathers as we all watched football until Ben, Dan and I decided to park the car downtown and go to the Kennedy Museum where we could sit at the window where Lee Harvey Oswald changed the course of history. When we came back, we ran into the Beast in the elevator and then took Ben for a swim as the ducks gathered and Jane finished her apple as there was more swimming and a self portrait followed by more swimming and an attempt to get pictures of this man's tattoos for Jane. I said good bye to Ben in the pool and made my way past the real rehearsal people including Paige who was rushing to get there and Matt who was an observer to the elevator which was getting a special treatment which was cause for much speculation about what went wrong that required such a cleaning effort.

It was now time to gather to go to the rehearsal dinner which was a barbeque at a ranch outside of town. Sarah posed as Ben flew out of the frame and Suzanne and Jane came down the hall as Suzanne posed for the elevator ride. In the lobby, we ran into Mikey and his troups and Hon and Sean and then Shelby posed after which there was a mother and daughter and a few sister in law pictures before we passed Gregory's car and headed out into space to get to the ranch where the guide posed and we took group pictures and one of this person before going in to meet Cathy and the musician and see Gregory greet his grandmother as the bar tender finally came into the frame and I met Erin's grandparents as the kids captured photos of the postcards on our table as Rob and Dan and Linda Pinkel arrived and Erin posed with friends whose names I've forgotten including this gentleman as Larry and Rob chatted and Sarah walked away from Gregory and Linda who posed as did the other Gregory with his cousins as Larry welcomed the assembled and Jason toasted the campaign team and the 3 brothers even as Beast and Toba and Andy and cousin Karen gathered to hear Larry speak about his love for Gregory and Erin as my food was finished so I tried to get a good picture of Dansyl or Emma as the kids at our table

looked in various directions as Dansyl watched as Greg and Erin began and became more involved as the warm feelings flowed until they and Michelle and Jason and other Dan (for Dansyl) watched as the kids played and I went to meet this gentleman (Princeton '56) and his hard core Republican wife and then did the Deanly pose before we were called up to sign and here is what we sang even as Beast shot pictures, Suzanne held a baby and I got a picture of the Bush boots and shirt and a very large earful of story about compassionate conservatism which to my way of thinking is a justification of an unrealistic selfishness but others may differ. As this server from the neighborhood served dessert and told me about his horse, Suzanne held a baby and the kids amused another Eric was really happy to have his new shirt (a win-win situation) and this couple was happy to be away from Omaha and medical school as this woman was happy to be here from Michigan and these folks from Hiram near the twin cities of Farrel and Sharon. The little ones did a song and all cheered them on until they

wound things down so that the bridal party could do its dances and as the babies watched the grandparents danced. After just a few more pictures of babies, this lad removed my wrist bracelet and I took some outdoor pictures before driving back to the hotel where the doorman was very happy to see us.
