Hi everyone. I just returned from the most intensive trip I have ever taken in my life, and I probably will never do anything like it again. Fourteen cities in 12 countries in 12 days, spanning 13 time zones. It was a trip like no other with Secretary of State Clinton. If you'd like to read more about it, I've posted a link here . Hope you enjoy. Looking forward to seeing all of you in Dallas in October. Tom.

Thanks, Tom!
It was an odd feeling when the tv reported the motorcade being pelted with tomatoes, etc to know that I had a friend on the receiving end!
Thanks for sharing!
Doug

Fascinating article about your marathon journey, Tom. If we ever forget to appreciate the efforts of diligent public servants and the press members who cover them, your article is a reminder! My newspaper days are long past, as are my husband's, but I have enjoyed all your reports and hoped to meet you someday, and now it looks as if we will cross paths at HeeHaw. Looking forward to it!

Interesting read. Having done my residency in little rock during the time she was governer's wife there, I have met her several times and know a lot of inside scoop which is not for publication. She is certainly very energetic and knows foreign policy well. My comments will end at that.
