They Could See Her House From There...

Gordo and I are at an award ceremony called the IDidAContest (if you don't get it, try harder). So we ran into a teacher that had been in our session earlier today. We chatted and spoke to her husband, a professor of education at U. of A.

So when we find out that they're from Wasilla, Gordo, who freely admits that he 'doesn't have that filter', asks the obvious question. The answer was that, indeed, they knew the former governor of Alaska. In fact, they were neighbors with the Palins.

They said that they were pretty nice. Turns out that her parents were both involved in education, someone's niece knew the other's babysitter - etc, etc. I must admit I tuned out because I was hoping that even Gordo's minimal filter would catch any reference to seeing Russia from their backyard..

It did.
