If I had one word for my day today it would be brilliant. Not only did I have the honor of speaking at the Memorial Day remembrance on the square, but I was treated like a big shot too. Walked with the mayor and city council and trustees! Only a few people recognized me though, but that's not a huge loss. Played some tennis with the guys on a full stomach (steak for lunch) and got slightly sunburned. I swear, I put sunscreen on. I'll be fine. Here's the more exciting part: Italy, here I come. Suitcase is packed, well mostly packed. It'll get there tomorrow. Grand diary (my personal notes on the places I will be seeing) is not nearly close to being finished, but you win some, you lose some. You can't do it all, at least I certainly can't. I do try the best I can. If the day had 30 hours it still probably wouldn't be enough for me as I need all the time I can get....I have a lot that I want to do! But the time is ticking down till I board my place in CLE and hopefully arrive safely and without delay in ADR. And let's also hope I don't have to sit next to crying babies, sick people, weird people, or any other unfortunate kind of person on my trans-Atlantic flight! But that is most certainly out of my control! I'll leave you with this: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do in Italy!"
Cheers, Zach
