My conversation with the Governor.....

[osodecanela]

I mentioned to a patient on Friday last that I had run into Gov. Brown on Wednesday night (as I posted on the 4th). He was in to see me again on Monday and he brought a clipping from Sunday's local paper, the Press Democrat, which read as follows:

"JERRY BROWN, a longtime admirer of the lower Russian River, stopped in Forestville on the Fourth.
A local gay man spotted him, approached and thanked the governor for fighting Proposition 8.
“You're welcome,” Brown replied with a smile."

Imagine my surprise. To my knowledge, there were only 4 people who had witnessed the interchange; myself, the governor, his companion and their driver. I did mention it to a group of my friends and I did post about it here. Somehow, I doubt the local paper is mining my Livejournal for content. I'm not sure who told the PD, but it pleases me that they did.

Maybe his companion was a reporter.

Dunno, she looked more like a s.o. to me.

Maybe it was the other local gay man.

The other local gay man?

In this neck of the woods, we're not coming out of the closet, we're coming out of the woodwork.

Hey…now you can do that Margaret-Cho's-mom thing: "Do you know meeeeee? I am so famous!" ;-)

If I tried that, I suspect my husband might have me shot. ;{)

Well, your Korean accent might need some work…!

I purposely made it anonymous. And he asked if he could interview the person. I sent you an e-mail, but you didn't respond. So I figured that was the end of it. Apparently, I'm wrong.

Where was it in Sunday's paper? I'd like to see it.

Sorry, but the email didn't come through. Yeah, Sunday's PD.
