2. i have never forgotten

her 2012 DNC speech. just watching it over now to share and i'm getting chills and tears in my eyes. One of the most electrifying speeches i've ever watched. unforgettable. i had totally forgot who she was and went searching for it recently after watching a Pod Save America episode, and here it is.

if she's as good at heading a US govt dept, we are in great hands.

Sadly she was 19 then and I was only a kid of 10. I was the starting pitcher (and catcher; and had a .400 batting average) on a 3a little league baseball team though....nah probably out of my league.

6. I've got this feeling we are going to be driving affordable electric cars

with charging stations everywhere a lot sooner than we thought. And on better roads, too.

Deval Patrick isn't nearly as engaging.
