Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Fascinating Perspectives on America

By Abby at 8:51 am on Tuesday, April 19, 2005

I found this fascinating. It’s rare that Americans get to see themselves from the outside. We live in such an American-centric world, not only here, but even when we travel. Our bubble seems to follow us wherever we go. Our borders are so far away from us. We almost never have to remember that there are other countries out there, and depending on where we live, we can almost forget other regions of the country. England is the size of Alabama. For me to drive from Memphis to Atlanta takes 7 hours. SEVEN HOURS, and I’m still basically in the same region of the country. No wonder we are so out of touch with the rest of the world, so out of touch that sometimes we forget it’s there!

Every American should have the experience of living in another country for a while. It’s humbling.
