It is not that I am neglecting my unofficial duties, there simply is no public schedule up. I am just as glad since I really think information around this Egypt/Tunisia leg of the trip should be skimpy. Mme. Secretary met today in Paris with Takeaki Matsumoto, the new Japanese FM. Then she departed for Cairo. She briefed the traveling press on the plane. When the press notes are released, I will post them.

"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway

Sometimes a sacrifice pays off. Look, she’s your mom. I don’t want to talk like it’s a trade-off. Get her what she wants. You won’t have her long. At least you KNOW what she wants. With my mom I batted zero as an adult. Get her what she wants. Many years later, when NOBODY appreciates what you put into your work or appreciates your zeal, sh will. And don’t be surprised if your dad does, too. Get her the necklace. She’ll look and feel BEAUTIFUL in it. It’ll be worth it!

Not quite the issue. I didn’t get to be as calculating as I am all on my own. She knows what she’s doing. Considering my economic status (as someone who is most likely going to see menopause before she sees her next paycheck), the fact that my father will have me shop for him because he hates it, and the increasing issues I’m having with my aging computer, my mother knows exactly how to ensure that she will get a basket full of jewelry some of which she wants me to make her. She knows EXACTLY what she’s doing.

You sound (alarmingly) like the young people in the Middle East and North Africa. Almost just like them. Do you still believe in the man child descended from heaven? Are you ready to expand your horizons? There is a way to accomplish it. There is someone who knows the path.

I’m not in revolt. Bleak of mood and under no illusions about my lack of marketable skills, but that’s all. In the time between my posts I’ve made myself a lovely piece of jewelry, so even though you can’t see me, I promise you I’m smiling. Once I figure out a path I will most certainly see where it leads out of curiosity or conviction. I just don’t see any paths at present.

Question readers: If you were suddenly appointed Assistant SOS for Public Affairs on a Sunday, would you not hit the ground running on Monday? No Public Schedule at all today. Now, I only post HRC’s part of the schedule. There are 30-40 other officials whose appointments are on that schedule, and nothing was posted today, nor has Mike Hammer (getting used to the name) held a press briefing so far! Not a spectacular beginning! I nominate Discourse to replace him.
