Joining Arnold

On the evening of October 7, 2003, I was standing among the hysteria and celebration of a highly unusual event inside the ballroom of the Century Plaza Hotel. Arnold Schwarzenegger had just won the historic recall election to unseat incumbent California governor Gray Davis.

I had been hit with a thought: Did I just come full circle with this man now known as The Governator?

I will leave that up to you to decide. I might as well start from the beginning.

Enjoy the ride.
