Everything went well earlier today. There was quite a crowd, maybe 600 or more people? Most seemed in good spirits, despite the heat and the length of the line. Al Gore was only here for a limited amount of time. He came, he signed, he left. A very charming man, he made it seem easy to greet and sign so many books. My job was to slide the books in front of him to sign—my arm is very sore actually. Being who he is, Al Gore manages to attract his fair share of crazies and he handled them all gracefully.

I still can’t believe I spent two hours with the man who should have been president.
