Thx to @RepGraceMeng for helping us #StandForFulbright & to her Legislative Asst Donna Iken for convo on moving fwd in these times of ‘Defense first’ thought. As Senator Fulbright once said, “To continue to build more weapons, especially more exotic and unpredictable machines of war, will not build trust and confidence. The most sensible way to do that is to engage the parties in joint ventures for mutually constructive and beneficial purposes, such as trade, medical research, and development of cheaper energy sources...To this purpose the #Fulbright program is dedicated."

Because I'm going to see #RogueOne tonight, here's a flashback from Dec 2015 when I went to the underground cave hotel, Sidi Driss, in Matmata, Tunisia, where they shot the original Star Wars scene of Luke Skywalker's home. Yes, that's me with a light saber, because that happened. 😋 (at Hotel Sidi Driss, Matmata.)

Such a short trip to Amsterdam, but full of charm. The sun even came out one day when I snapped this shot of a bridge to Prinseneiland. I didn't get to see nearly as many friends as I wanted to this time around, but I'll be back! (at Prinseneiland)
