I was touched by Joe Biden.
I met Vice President Joe Biden just about a year ago. You probably heard about it; it was about all I could talk about/post about /brag about for the better part of what had been an awful, tumultuous year in my life.

Maybe he recognized the walking woundedness in my eyes. Maybe he picked up, in the fleeting moments of a posed group photo of Congressman Steve Israel’s staff at the Global Institute at Long Island University who hosted the event, that I was a fan.

Maybe he just liked me.
