How I'm Like Kamala Harris

I love a good green salad!

I never realized before yesterday just how much Kamala Harris and I have in common. It's uncanny, really, when you stop and think about it. For example, her rambling answers to an interviewer's questions are called "word salads," and I love all kinds of salads -- in fact, I eat at least one every single day, often two. 

Another thing is that her husband is Jewish, and so is mine! And talk about coincidences -- she was born in Oakland, California but lived in the neighboring city of Berkeley, and when I worked at the Oakland Tribune, I too lived in Berkeley. Also, while she is "leaving the door open" for a presidential run in 2028, everyone knows she will never be the President, and that's certainly true for me as well.

But perhaps the biggest similarity between us was revealed yesterday with her announcement that she won't be running for Governor of California next year (me either), explaining, "For now, my leadership and public service will not be in elected office." That is so me! In fact, just like Kamala, nobody knows what my public service is, or just how I'm a leader or to whom.

It's crazy that I never noticed all this before. It's like we're twins.
