Obamas on the Vineyard

[Northland]

Plus rumor has it that the President will meet with Senator Kennedy while here.

That's the trouble with rumours-they often don't live up to expectations. Whereas The President may indeed meet with The Senator, it is sadly at a time when The Senator will be unable to respond.


Sleep peacefully, Senator. You are already missed.


Say Stronzo-you're closer to the area than I am, is there a pall settling across the waters between the Vineyard and Barnstable Town? I'd figure a sadness must be in the air.

Pity Northland that the Senator's health was so poor it was impossible for them to meet - the proximity being so close.

Obviously President Obama was informed of the gravity of the situation where the public was not informed.

There is a 'sadness in the air'. I learned of it at 5:30 this morning. It's pervading my mood as we speak. Every network station has suspended regular programming and the eulogies are pouring in. They speak of his wife Vickie perhaps going for his Senate seat.

Time will tell. It's a very beautiful day here on the Cape juxtaposed against this loss. It makes it all that much more poignant.

I saw the Obamas fly in via helicopter an hour ago for their 2010 vacation on the Vineyard.

It's great to have them back in the neighborhood.
