Italy Day 0:
So ok, I'm cheating. This is actually being written while I'm still at home in Austin. But I've got my bags packed, lists crossed off, and now I'm just trying to adjust myself to the time change, as we're 7 hours behind Italy. So when I land at 7:30am Italy time, it'll feel like midnight in Texas time, and I'd want to immediately go to sleep. So instead I'm saying up semi-late to take a short nap, and then *hopefully* do some sleeping on the 9 hour flight across the Atlantic.
I somehow managed to have space left over in my suitcase. I'm still investigating how that is possible. Even with all the warm clothings I packed in there, there was still room.
Ok, so now it's to sleep and then off to the aeroport. Special thanks to Laura for being awesome and taking me!
Wow, this basically puts the talk about "empty rhetoric" v. "history of accomplishments" to a definite end if only more people read this. It covers quite a lot of what I knew about the bills he's passed and how Obama thinks about problems, but that article pretty much lays it out explicitly with facts. Next time someone asks about what Obama has to offer, just send them there.
