I beg forgiveness today to the “father” of the Democratic Party, Mr Jefferson, for my recent transgressions. At a dinner party at a Prof’s house a few nights ago, a fellow graduate student was telling a story that involved him and the descendants of famous people. As the story became more elaborate, Lauren accused him of “always exaggerating”. To which I chimed in, “Yes, he’s a regular Al Gore”. Ouch–I winced internally and immediately felt guilty. Disgracing my former candidate’s good name…well, I can only ask the blogosphere to absolve me of my sins.
Oddly, I was rewarded for this good behavior. On my annual shopping trip yesterday, I found two Docker corduroys and an Alfani thin sweater at $15 a piece. And $50 ACG Nike’s; my old pair literally came undone during indoor soccer on Tuesday. It’s difficult playing defense when the sole of your shoe is flapping about :)
Oh, and Princeton creamed Brown at the Women’s Basketball game I attended last night. Maybe I should make fun of Al Gore more often…although that’s probably not good for my conscience.
