Profile in Philadelphia Inquirer
Tuesday June 17, 2008
For reasons that I don't claim to understand, the Philadelphia Inquirer decided that its readers might be interested in a profile of me. The article, which appears in today's edition, features a great quote from my wife: "There are so many people who are geekier than he is." Whew! That's very comforting. The article also recounts a rather colorful thing the governor of Pennsylvania once said about me... Thank you to reporter Kari Andren for her fine writing, which hopefully makes me seem less geeky than I am.

Good move … nothing quite fosters intergovernmental cooperation like petty name-calling.
By the bye, Gov. Ed will make some kind of major budget announcement at 10 a.m. this morning, his office has just told us.
