My conversation with the Governor.....

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.
