So today I had the opportunity to take time off work and go check out The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos. His special guest for the day was U.S Vice President Al Gore. Since I'm kind of a U.S politics junkie I found this interview absolutely entertaining.

Some subjects they talked about was the U.S economy,  Cap and Trade, dealing with Republicans, Glenn Beck (tears and him exploding) and how Al Gore finds Sarah Palin quite "interesting". I can really get into the politics of stuff, but for the record I am a huge supporter of Barack Obama and his policies(as with 80% of Canada who support him as well).

During a commercial break, I tried to take a picture with Al Gore on stage, but was politely advised that no pictures were allowed by one of 5 Secret Service Agents for Al Gore. To avoid getting jumped or worse yet shot, I put away my Blackberry/camera.

Overall it was great. It was a great experience to not only see Al Gore, but to be part of a live tv studio audience. Excellent day.

As for my commitments for the day, I polished off 80 min in the gym dealing with mostly upper body and cardio. Tomorrow is the moment of truth and celebration of my second mission and will be posting the final pic for Mission 2. Looking forward to tomorrow. =)
