At Alumni Hall

 I am here to hear Larry Sabato give his annual, more than the Score. I came at 8:15. I have been uploading pictures to make a card for Christmas, more people are coming now. They are expecting at least 500. But there are still may empty seats. They are serving banana bread and blueberry bread. I am in the second row.  I was the very first to sit down but there were lots of people here getting ready for the event. I called Rick but he is exercising at the gym. I see one person I know.  Wheeler. he is Walker’s neighbor.

Last night we went to the movie and then ate dinner at Sal’s. We shared spaghetti. My watch and the iPad both say 9:50 so I am ok time wise. The person I know is Wheeler. He is in Rick’s Rotary. Well he used to be. He did not want to pay for lunch. They meet at the Green croft. 

I like to come to this event because Larry always tells funny stories.  He will talk about the upcoming election and maybe the Kevin McCarthy fiasco.

He taught  20, 000 students. Now he is talking. At UVA for 53 years.  Forgets names sometimes so he uses the word Buddy.

How is you back problemis a universal question. He introduced some of his students. 

Talking about politics. He can always make connections to past. Watched news this morning.

I thought he would talk more about US. But he is talking about Israel.

We have social media so no one knows what will happen. Now he is talking about AI.

Republicans and Democrats are even so there will be only a few real contests.

All red Republicans. Maybe Texas and Florida.

Blue safe Democrats.

Toss up Arizona, Montana, Ohio  the talk is over. I am now in the front hall. Lucy was here. I also talked to wheeler. I have to think about what he said befor the conclusions. I hear music outside. I am going to go to the grocery store.  Life in Cville centers around UVA and all the students living here.
