News That Should Enliven My Wife
Last night I tried to read the online version of Charlottesville other weelky rag, The Hook. Instead of the expected feelings of nostalgia, I was met with feelings of vague indifference. It was like reading the newspaper of a city I've never been to, The Dubuque Register or the Sacramento Bee. A while back I checked out a discussion group based in Yaroslavl, and they were discussing cool brewpubs, casinos and fast food places around town. Needless to say, none of these existed when I lived there circa 1992. It was not the Yaroslavl I remember of do-it-yourself jazz clubs and festivals, parties on the Strelka, seedy dance clubs, and Kluby Druzei Kino. The Buddha said you can't dip your foot in the same river twice. So I guess, Thomas Wolfe was right, but I didn't think it would only take six months.
To my dismay, I have yet to feel fully comfortable here in Concord. Take that, Robert Heinlen!
