Bear and I stood on a damp and drizzly street corner tonight, waiting for our chance to say goodbye to the essence of Alaska. I didn't always agree with former Senator Ted Stevens, but as an Alaskan I, and everyone who lives here, owes a heck of a lot to him.
Alaska was created by people like him, for people like us.
Vice President Joe Biden's motorcade preceded the hearse, and Bear was quite awed at the sight of flashing lights and sirens and important people.
He asked, "Should I put my hand over my heart?"
I told him that would be nice.
Grace can be amazing at times like these.
