A few thoughts about how people look at people. [More]

So it’s been a pretty crazy year for me.   One year ago I was living in North Carolina with my folks.  I’d been in NC for 15 years, and had long since decided to leave.  No offense to my many wonderful friends there, each of whom I love to some degree and for some reason, but it was never my place, I never wanted to be there, and I never felt like I fit in anywhere.  I’d long since decided that I wanted to move back to Kalamazoo and put my roots down there, but had no idea how I was going to make that happen – vague notions of expanding my web design business into a mult...
