mary chapin carpenter performed three songs.

ominous security! my daughter had to open her coat, and they passed a metal detector over her cause of a notebook she was carrying. sad, but necessary. the one guard actually told her he was sorry he had to do it.

turned out to be a perfect day. g*d must be a democrat.

john glenn - genuine american hero - flew his own plane to the event. quite amazing...
