Posts I Keep Forgetting To Write, Pt II

Last month we went to Olympia with Nicole's mom and sisters to attend a ceremony honoring Washington State's fallen firefighters from the past year. Before the ceremony, we met Governor Gregoire and she said a few words to each family member. When she met Wilson, she offered him a handshake. He wasn't really interested in a handshake, but did feel like a high-five. The governor handled that well, and, being a good politician, didn't bat an eyelash when he then wanted to "hit the rocks". Her photographer was there, and somewhere there is a picture of Wilson and governor of Washington knocking knuckles. She's a little busy right now (and good luck to her, she seems like a very genuine person), but I'm going to try and get that picture after the election.
