So, there was a trip to Vegas last weekend. It was pretty cool, but the best thing was that -- totally randomly -- I got to see the Clintons! It was the day of the caucus, and they had 9 special stations set up on the Strip for casino workers; Hillary was at the Bellagio and I happened to pass by just before she left. So I joined the rope line, and I got to shake her hand, and Bill's. Very cool!
Meanwhile, my Communicating Public Policy class is made of awesome. Seriously. Three hours of political discussion, once a week. Reading the major newspapers and political blogs counts as homework. (We have other readings too; in fact, I'm gonna have to drop $60-80 on our primary textbook. Dangit.) And today in our first real class, about 8 people dominated the discussion. (There's about 30-35 in the class.) By hour two it was so clear, you could see the hesitations starting -- the hand lift, pause, glance around, higher lift, last check for "is anyone else gonna talk?!", final raise.
Yes, yours truly was one of them. And I'm told I didn't sound stupid. Yay!
