OMG I totally got to meet him and was too worn out/excited/overwhelmed/awestruck to do anything like ask him a question. I guess I would ask him if he truly is hopeful. And if so, how does he stay that way.
I have a framed picture of me and a bunch of other people standing around him. It really was an amazing moment. I had to get a background check to be in that room. I shaved above the knee that day. Also, that day was the beginning of an amazing adventure in my life. One that makes me hopeful and grateful everyday, no matter how scary and terrible the oil spills and wars are.

Ask me questions.
