About

I'm an expat Californian who is obsessed with traveling to strange and exotic destinations in the former Communist Bloc. I also like tacos, surfing, and the geopolitics of oil. I currently live in Arlington, Virginia and work in Washington, DC. Read more about me here, check out my photo album, or send me an e-mail.

11 degrees! Time for some lit drops!

It was warm today...around 11 degrees. I never thought I'd say 11 degrees is warm, but compared to the temps of the past few days, it truly is. I look upon this weather as a way of preparing for the long Russian winters I'll be living in when I am doing research for my PhD (or maybe not).

We did some lit drops today since it was "warm", and tomorrow we'll be doing some visibility and canvassing. We usually work from 9:30am to 10 or 11pm, depending on what needs to be done, then catch a late dinner and head back to the farmhouse for some sleep.

Clark will be in the Lakes Region on the 17th...looking forward to hearing him speak again. I loved the last town hall meeting. Seeing a packed house nodding in agreement with Clark's answer to a question is a beautiful sight. I think the support for Clark is really picking up...talking to voters and such, we are getting a lot of Dean and Kerry people switching to Clark. I've even talked to a few Republicans that say they will be voting for Clark in the general election. Awesome.

Oh yeah, GW starts tomorrow...lucky me I'm not there.
