Local

During the course of the weekend's events, I had the pleasant experience of being recognized by no less than three people. They either read my blog (Hi, Ashley!) or knew me from Flickr.

I must say, that felt pretty good. I've lived here for two years now, but only recently have I begun to realize how important local connections can be. I mean, I have local friends, but I think I'm starting to build a network.

Well, I live in my hometown, so I am more likely to want to hide than to be recognized!

So people are getting to know you there. So you think it could be from when you taught at Curves? Or just the blog? If you stay for five years, could you get elected Mayor by your ever-expanding network? Would you want to be? Would Time cover your election as the French speaking Mayor of Lexington? I could continue...

It takes time, but building your network will go a long way to helping you feel even more like a part of the community that is now your home.

A network? Way To Go!!
Seriously, that's pretty cool! I'd love to be recognized somewhere, except for maybe the post office. This would be especially true if my picture were on the wall there.

A network is a good thing, right?

[Ashley]

Wow, thanks for the name-check! Nothing like an appeal to my vanity to get me to finally comment on one of these blog-a-majigs...of which yours is outstanding. It was nice to encounter a new acquaintance during my time warp flashback whirlwind weekend. And your and Allen's pics captured the event beautifully.

Has it been TWO YEARS????????? WOW! Time passes fast.

You're becoming famous!

Two years since you moved? It doesn't seem that long.
