3/6/19 discussion about Barbie dolls in my life

Here is the link to my March 6, 2019, Twitter thread discussion about the role Barbie dolls have played in my life.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still moderately coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

12/21/14 review of book Outpost: Life on the Frontlines of American Diplomacy

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book Outpost: Life on the Frontlines of American Diplomacy, by US Ambassador Christopher Hill. The thread also discusses a discussion between Ambassador Hill and Ryan Warner from Colorado Public Radio at the Tattered Cover Book Store.

My thread discusses some important lessons I learned from the book. It discusses Ambassador Hill's great stories and character observations. I also discuss some lessons about analysis, emotion, and being a public figure that I learned from Ambassador Hill's Tattered Cover talk, as well as some of my own reflections on Ambassador Hill's ideas.

Here is the link to the Simon & Schuster edition of Outpost.

I bought this book at the Tattered Cover Book Store in Colorado.
