The million man march... the day I flew National to Fresno, CA... for work. Foolishly, I took Metro, but the car FULL, full, full, of participants who kindly made room for 5.4 me and my week long suitcase and my ginger hair. Boy, did I stick out. But I was at the door for train transfer at L'enfant Plaza. The men were in high spirits and were accommodating and fun. I'll will always praise them for their kindness.

And now you know why he got the Daily Show gig.

Jon Stewart was so young. Imagine getting a gig before the most powerful people in the U.S. and The President!! It really took a lotta, as he would say, chutzpah to get up there. And he had it and has always had it. I wonder what he thought when got home? *Well, I guess I’ll never work again. *That went - umm - well. I don’t remember, did they laugh? * Did I actually say that? Oh god My favorite was, “Nope! Nope! Nope!” LOL 🤣 Yea for Jon Stewart !!!!!! 😈
