I kinda have to agree, considering they were "officially" 45 minutes late getting to Simi Valley. (My personal thought: The hedge time was originally built in.)
Maybe President Reagan wanted one last Hollywood Entrance: Fashionably late. 8-)
I did hear there was a little "hedge" time built in, but no one could have planned for the perfection in lighting, weather, and timing. Or, should I say only One Being could have . . .
Now I know I'll have the perfect thing to watch when I need the release of a good cry, both of sadness and joy.
