Halloween
A TV crew was on campus (Imperial Valley College, where I work) today interviewing students about the California propositions. They interviewed me, thinking (I guess) that I was a student. Why did they think I was a student? I was dressed for Halloween wearing my Angels jersey and cap. So does baseball gear make you look younger, or does it make you act younger? Hard to say--probably the latter.
And, yes, a TV crew was on campus. That's the thing about a small area like this--it's really easy to get on TV or in the paper, since local news here is really local news, unlike the news in big cities like Los Angeles. I know most areas in the US have local news that is very local, but it's a new experience for me. Too bad I have DirecTV and get the local LA stations, not the local Yuma/El Centro stations--so I won't even see myself on TV tonight! Oh well.
Update: I was on TV and I did get to see it, thanks to my portable TV. I looked and sounded like a goober, but at least my quotes made sense.
