Just learned that I will be teaching in Miami University's summer program in Florence again in 2010!
How cool is that?
One of my favorite Miami students, Louisville native Kaitlin Walter, will be joining the group. Guest No. 1 for my Thursday night dinner-at-Annie's events.
If you haven't seen the video short that Summer 2009 Journalism student Lauren Doyle produced about the program, you can find it here.
Meanwhile, the Berlusconi government in Italy is on the defensive again, this time accused of paying off warlords in Afghanistan to protect its troops stationed there. Check it out. No surprise that they did it, but the French troops who eventually took over the Italian area apparently did not know about the payoffs and were attacked.
