# 21 Apr 2004, 05:57PM: A Lot Of Days:
I didn't know that Gavin Newsom is dyslexic. Nor that his favorite game is Twister.
"He knows a lot of things since he's been mayor for 100-and-something days," he said. "That's a lot of days." ...
One little girl asked Newsom whether he is married, and he told her all about former San Francisco prosecutor Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom -- and which news shows to watch for her legal commentary.
"You can see my wife -- she's on TV. She's a legal analyst, which means she's a lawyer," he said. "She's amazing. She's beautiful and smart! She's not dyslexic. She's got it easy -- so easy."
Nikolai Kisler, a fourth-grader, said he wished Newsom had explained how he became mayor. But he hastened to add that he's sure Newsom is qualified.
I guess the average non-dyslexic does have it easier.
# 21 Apr 2004, 07:54PM: Perhaps "Not Passive-Aggressive" Is Too Much To Ask: I am trying to figure out the best way to let jerks on BART know that they may not hog two seats by sitting in the aisle seat while the window seat goes empty. Generally I do what other riders seem too timid to do (namely, walk up, say "Excuse me," and take the seat) without any fanfare or edification. But soon my thought experiments will provide a concise, courteous, and non-passive-aggressive technique for hitting these jerks upside the head with the cluestick.
