This just in: The esteemed Senator Peter S. Brunstetter will be a Senator no more. He just submitted his resignation, and will be the new Vice President and General Counsel of Novant Council, by which I mean he will continue to sit in an office and do important things that I don’t fully understand. While I will become 13% less fascinating to talk to at parties, and will miss the invisible secret service helicopters that follow me on dates, I’m really, really happy for my Dad. After some 20 years of rigorous public service and juggling 2-3 jobs, he and my mom deserve some serious down time. GO DAD GO! BY WHICH I MEAN: TAKE A NAP!
