DENNIS NEWS NOTES-6-21-2006

By Rick Racela

Why is it when you see the president rolling off Air Force One after a cross continental flight he looks refreshed and ready for action?
Just once I’d like to see his hair a little wacky looking from his snooze on board while the plane flew 18 hours from Bangkok to Washington, DC.
Wouldn’t it be great to see Bush step through the doors of the plane and wave to the crowd wearing his pajamas?
Maybe just the cloth eye covers that block out the light tucked up on his forehead.
Welcome back, Prez.

The Church of the Resurrection in Marmora is sponsoring a trip to see Cirque Dreams on July 17.
