You would think that these past few weeks would be full of interesting tidbits, as Dave is now training to be a diplomat for the U.S. government. But Dave doesn't write this blog. And when I ask Dave what he learned at work today, he generally answers with Not much.
But yesterday, I heard quite a bit. Yesterday, Dave got to meet Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Members of his class were invited to "Conversations on Diplomacy" with Secretary Clinton and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, moderated by Charlie Rose. If you watched the show last night on PBS, you probably saw the back of Dave's head.
After the conversations finished, everyone attended a reception at the State Department building. Dave enjoyed hobnobbing with his classmates, as well as Secretary Clinton and a number of ambassadors. They're not yet on a first name basis, but he did enjoy a fun evening with quite a few interesting conversations and big name handshakes.
