Where were you when you heard?

This question is popping up all over, so I'll add my story to the narrative. I was out for dinner in Amherst with my family and I noticed the TV over the bar was holding a picture of Reagan for an unusually long amount of time. Walking closer, I saw the "1911-2004" caption underneath.

A couple minutes later, they switched the TV to the Weather Channel.

My wife said: "People don't want to see sad news when they're out for dinner."

I wryly responded: "Here in Amherst, it's probably cause for celebration."

When I got home, I called my college roommate and we talked about the Gipper until the battery ran out on his phone.
