It seems Einstein generated some discussion, though not about the solution. It was more a chance for Brent and Will to argue. I can't say who can run faster anymore, but I'll bet Will can win in a fight. One of Brent's groomsmen was trying to get Will to demonstrate his martial arts training on me. I didn't even know the guy. I knew who he was, but only because I knew who Brent's groomsmen were. To my knowledge, I'd never spoken to him before. So why was I the target? I like this president, at least more than the last one.

I saw a clip from some memorial that President George H.W. Bush was giving in honor of President Ford. He mentioned how Ford accepted the humor directed toward him and then Bush said he had planned to talk about how Chevy Chase turned a coordinated, even graceful, athlete into a bumbling idiot (on SNL), but that, in the words of Dana Carvey, "not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent." I'm sure it's on YouTube or elsewhere, but I'm too lazy to go look for it. I would have liked for him to mention the Phil Hartman / Bill Clinton "food for refugees intercepted by warlords" sketch, but I wasn't writing for the former president.

I should probably start packing to head back to Tullahoma, but I don't wanna. I have to pay my activation fee, which was due today and they told me that about 3 days after I came home, so I didn't pay it before I left. Always fun to risk late fees.

Al Gore: If we don't go back there and make that event happen, the entire universe will be destroyed... And as an environmentalist, I'm against that.

More tomorrow.
