Well thank you! I appreciate your shout out. When I walk around here and think of things I want to write, I wonder, "but why would anyone in Durham give a crap?" Answer: I will do my best to write stories that are (a) interesting to me and (b) perhaps of general interest.
I met some folks this weekend who told me things I didn't expect. Some will hit the blog within the next 24 hours.
I wonder, sometimes, whether there are just as many interesting stories in Durham as I'm running into in Merida? Maybe no because there is more socio-economic diversity in Mexico. Maybe yes because there are infinite stories anywhere.
So why don't I run into as many "odd" people in Durham as I do in Mexico? I suspect it's simply because when I'm in Durham, I happily spend much of my time with people I already know and I like, or by myself. Down here, I can't help but spend a lot of time with strangers, and that opens a lot of possibilities.
Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.
