My first date of sophomore year was a wreck. He forgot his wallet, and when we went to his house to get it he was lingering there and told me he wanted to teach me how to tie a tie. We’d barely met, so I was really uncomfortable when he insisted on teaching me by tying it around my neck. When we finally left to go get yogurt his roommate met us there and they just talked to each other. As my date and I drove off to go home, I noticed he was headed up the canyon. He said he just wanted to show me the “scenic way” as we approached Squaw Peak, but I told him I needed to get back so we turned around. When he dropped me off he asked how I felt about being a conservative governor’s wife, since he’s going to be a governor one day. I told him I was a democrat.
