One Degree Of Separation

For the first time, I’ve got one degree of separation from two members of the Trump cabinet.

Well, one and a half.

Defense Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth was the first guest ever interviewed on the NARN, back in March of 2004.  I think I’ve interviewed Hegseth 2-3 times over the years.

And closer yet, the wife of Doug Burgum – software mogul, two-term governor of North Dakota and now the Secretary of the Interior – is my high school classmate and homecoming queen Kathryn. 

And she’s got quite the story to tell, herself:

Not that it landed me an invite to the inauguration or anything, but still.
