Shook hands with both Peace Prize winners

Blogging from my Blackberry. I\’m in Oslo. Went to the Peace Prize concert. For me, the two lump in throat moments were Melissa Etheridge singing (I’m switching my official crush from Uma to her), and Al Gore talking about climate change as a moral crisis, and why we should seize it joyously. (Too much to blog. Darn Blakckberry!)
Afterwards in the hotel, I waited for Gore to finish a media thing, and saidthank you as he passed by. He shook my hand. Twenty minutes later RK Pachuari of the IPCC passed by. I thanked him, and he shook my hand.
this all means nore to me than collecting handshakes, although I am truly happy. To have had a chance to thank Al Gore. I am sappy that way.
Very open-minded of you to have a crush on someone who plays on the other team.
Persephone, the position of Official Crush is largely ceremonial.
Let’s see — I’ve shaken your hand, so now I’m two degrees of Al Gore; pretty good.
“Largely” ceremonial? What’s the non-ceremonial remainder?
