Last night Jesse and I went downtown to see the lighting of the giant Christmas tree. Unfortunately it was very cold and we are very pussies and left before the tree was actually lit. It was really crowded, which is always nice to see in downtown Detroit. At one point we were just walking around and I looked up and Senator Carl Levin and a woman, I assume it was Mrs. Senator Carl Levin, were standing there. I said, "Look! It's Carl Levin!! I'd recognize that combover anywhere!!" A couple people were talking to them then the Senator and his wife (I didn't see a pearl necklace but I'm sure she had one under her winter coat) started walking away. I said to Jesse, "Let's stalk them!!" so we followed them. I think they are mall walkers because they walked very quickly. I was amazed that nobody else was following them. I had hoped to catch up to them to say something. Anything. But when we caught up to them I was very pussy and didn't say anything. And then the security dudes let them into a fenced in area that clearly wasn't for pussies like me.
When I was little my family went on a big road trip vacation every summer. One year we went to Washington, D.C. My parents arranged for us to go to Levin's office to meet with an aide and get a tour and all that good stuff. I don't remember anything but being incredibly bored and thinking he had the most retarded hair I had ever seen. Which is funny because I'm pretty sure my dad had a combover too. But I don't think my dad's combover was as um, pronounced, as Carl's.
So anyway, last night we came home and watched the tree lighting on TV. I think it would have been more exciting if we had been there.
