Ask him if he prefers milk chocolate or dark chocolate and why. To me, that says a lot about a person.

Ask him why he didn't do more for the environment during the 8 years he spent as vice-president instead of waiting til he was no longer relevant.

I didn't mean anything by it. I just happened to be watching him on the Daily Show while posting and when he walked out I thought, "he looks like somebody....". It wasn't meant as an insult or a compliment, just an observation.

I like Al Gore... voted for him... but the boy does need to push away from the table, eat more fruit, and get on a bike or jog or something. He won't do his causes any good when he drops dead early.

Can you imagine yourself offering such advice thirty years ago, Bear?

You would have pulled your powdered-covered face up from the mirror and said, "Huh? Someone say something?"

I think it's safe to say that those in my age group were less wise and more durable back in the day....

Oh, yeah.

Precisely. Jogging with JoeNation would be a good start.

Just be careful he doesn't mistake you for something edible.

Eek, I was carping in general, not at you, FreeDuck. Was thinking of Edwards seemingly always being called a pretty boy, and other such examples.

I'm an idiot.

There I've got that out of the way.

I forgot that I live in a city filled with people of the Democratic persuasion, that if you stopped a hundred people on the street and asked if they were more conservative or liberal, you would get about 86 replies of liberal, ten conservative and the rest unidentified punchs to the face.

The speech was to be @ 12:30PM. I got there at 10:45 AM. I met the nice lady who gave me the piece of paper above. Note: there will be NO Q and A, which was depressing because I wanted to ask about his relationship to Gore Vidal. (and on a related note ask if he knew if Gore Vidal ever talked to Vidal Sasson.)

Anyway, I was in my running stuff because I figured I would do a lap afterwards so I didn't buy the book. LOTS of people did. I watched for about ten minutes as the clerks brought out a cart loaded with a hundred copies and those were about half gone when I decided to go upstairs and get a seat.

(HA HA HA HA AH)
There were already 500 people seated in a space that normally holds about a hundred. It will be filled next week with fans of John Updike, but nothing, nothing, like this. People were crowding into the standing room sections as I approached. I looked right. I looked left. I looked at my watch.
11:02
Sometimes there are deep eternal questions that one must ask: did I want to stand next to fifty-nine plus people in a space measuring about 4 feet by twelve feet for the next hour and a half and then listen to prepared remarks or did I want to go trotting through the leafy green spaces of Central Park's North Woods?

I sat on this rock after my run.
