Parents...
Have I mentioned that my dad and clark were friends as "white house fellows", and apparently (though I have no memory of this) he was a guest at my dad's house during the mid-'80's? Apparently I liked him.
this came to light because my dad is telling us to support clark in every way possible so that we can rely on family connections to get the political careers he's always dreamed of for us...I mean that we've always dreamed of...and of course through merit not nepotism because we're so smart and have such great ideas...whoops.

I'm being unfair. Their political views line up pretty exactly, and it is no surprise that he would be a strong supporter. I'm completely overreacting in a very predictable way.

Sigh.

On another note, last night when the cubs clinched I had the distinct feeling that I was back in France after the World Cup. I've never heard so many horns...it was kind of amazing. I also thought dave and I might get attacked as we wandered down the street proclaimining (through t-shirts and hats) our allegiances to other teams. Thank god we support american league teams...

and on that note, congrats to the Tigers for not being the worst ever! and to all the teams that made the playoffs. Not quite sure how I'll get through class this week when Red Sox playoff games beckon from TV.
