Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine came to Northern Virginia this afternoon to address issues he felt was important around the state. Kaine then held a public question and answer session for the remaining hour of the meeting.
After the Q and A, Kaine took direct questions from members of the press, where he answered three of mine. After fielding the usual questions about transportation, education, and immigration fixes, the governor answered my final question and said he would be taking his family to Douthat State Park over the Memorial Day weekend. The governor says he takes his family to a Virginia State Park each year.
Kaine was a very approachable guy and very easy to talk to. When it comes to many of the people I have interviewed, he was one of the better ones. And though I do not agree with the governor on every issue, he easily knows how to connect with people.
An interesting side note: Virginia is the only state that extends to it's governor the title of "His Excellency", according to Kaine. Virginia is also the only state to remove it just as quickly by allowing its governors to serve only one term.

..a few observations on your blog site.
1. nice site. 2. never fish off the company pier. (I voted "no")
3. shatner makes william hung sound like pavarotti. 4. I, too, enjoy Haribo Gummy Candies and even bought some yesterday at Target, along with a Snickers bar and Jelly Bellies. Naturally, I shared all with my family.
Sincerely, Ad Guy
I agree, sometimes that can be a long pier.
