Conversations: the governor is a Sagittarius

Mid-July

Monica: "I'm interviewing the governor tomorrow. Do you want me to ask him anything?"

Laura: "What are you interviewing him about?"

Monica: "Jobs and the economy."

Laura: "Ask him what his star sign is."

Maria: "Ask him if he'd let us follow him for a day."


Later that week

Monica: "He's a Sagittarius!"

Laura: "You asked?"

Monica: "Yeah, I said, 'One of the reporters wants to know your astrological sign,' and he said, 'Sagittarius.'"

Laura: "Did you ask if we could follow him for a Day in the Life?

Monica: "Yeah, he said that's fine."


August 2

Maria: "Hi, we're here to see the governor. Laura and Maria..."

Director of Communications: "Great! It's nice to meet you. The Governor is this way..."

Laura: "And I just want to confirm: we're riding with him to each event?"

Director: "Yes, all four events."

Laura: "Cool."
