This story has nothing to do with DC, but it’s a story I’ve wanted to tell for a while now.

In approximately 2005, G and I’d just moved from Los Angeles to Portland.  I was 25 and a newly licensed attorney.  We were at the gym, lifting weights together.  I was doing something like this:

A lady started talking to us and asked us about our jobs.  Because I was lifting, George answered.

“I work for Safeway…and she’s just a lawyer.”

The lady almost sh*t herself.  She said something like “Just a lawyer?!!!”…and then George started laughing.  It was hilarious.  Classic George move.  It’s impossible to be an ego-maniac around him.
