Mr. President, did you know that we have both spoken to the same person? It's true! Once I interviewed Craig Robinson. I'm speaking of Craig Robinson the brother of your wife Michelle and head coach of the Oregon State basketball team, not Craig Robinson the guy who plays Darryl on The Office. I call that one degree of conversation separation, and I think we have it because I'm going to assume that you've talked to Craig Robinson as well -- at least in passing at the wedding or something.
He's a really nice guy to talk to, don't you agree? I talked to him mostly about basketball, because the interview was for a sports magazine. He told me that when he teaches his Princeton-style basketball offense, he "sets it up like calculus." I still don't understand what he meant -- maybe you can explain it to me during the birthday call?
I also once interviewed Christine Gregoire, the governor of Washington. You've talked to her, I have photographic proof! (At right.) Okay, I guess that doesn't prove that you talked to her, since you are just shaking her hand in the photo. But I'll bet you said something when you shook her hand, like "that's a rad blouse, are those circly things flowers?" or "is that Larry Craig standing behind me? Sure looks like him. Watch his hands for me, kay?"If you want, maybe you or one of your schedule minions could call Craig or Christine and be like "hey, is talking to Seth cool?" I'm just trying to make this whole birthday call decision easy on you, you don't have to do it or anything.
