He was in a bar in Durham, NC watching a UNC basketball game. I saw him, and he registered as familiar but I didn't think much of it at first (Durham's small, so you see people you recognize constantly), then did a sort of double-take when I realized who he was. He noticed (I'm sure it happens a lot), we briefly made eye contact and did the sort of polite-acknowledgement-of-someone's-presence-without-talking thing, and then went back to our drinks. <br /><br />He looked...exhausted. <br /><br />I never cared for him as a politician, and his personal life sounds like it's been a train wreck largely of his own making, but in that moment, he just looked like a tired, rapidly aging guy who wanted to be left alone. I wouldn't go so far as to say I felt sorry for him, but it definitely made him seem a lot more human to me. <br /><br />I've tried to keep that in mind ever since...admittedly I do better sometimes than others.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799024060528185282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-74785975754659155652012-01-14T23:25:11.341-06:002012-01-14T23:25:11.341-06:00actually, i'm a little sympathetic to edwards....actually, i'm a little sympathetic to edwards.<br />i've read a few account from former colleagues who kinda defined the kind of guy he was.<br /><br />i know one thing... when it would have been wiser for him to stay away, he was caught because he wanted to have a relationship with his baby.<br />unlike some others.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-9522542929902584992012-01-14T18:57:46.406-06:002012-01-14T18:57:46.406-06:00I heard it was two sizes too small.I heard it was two sizes too small.Night Writernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-25415884597932871822012-01-14T14:18:02.544-06:002012-01-14T14:18:02.544-06:00Mr. D:
