| 87. I could not have done what you did |
|
Last Sunday I saw a former GOP senator at the grocery store. My wife was prodding me to go and give him a piece of my mind, but I just couldn't bring myself to bother him. I figure, he's out of power and it would not change history. I also figured that if I made a scene, I would be the one shown out of the store.
