I have a confession to make: I starred in a play when I was in high school (Woody Allen's Play It Again Sam, if you must know). But that's not why I'm writing this post. The real reason is that my friend John Newman dug up our sophomore yearbook, which just happens to have a somewhat compromising picture of me on stage with co-star Ruby Rippey, aka the woman San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom had an affair with. Oddly enough this isn't the closest connection I have with a political scandal. When I was a kid I once had lunch with Gary Condit, who was our Assemblyman at the time. And yes, that's what I looked like in high school.
