Back from the depths of the Internet

So, I'm resuscitating this blog to chronicle my adventures in London and wherever my will and wallet can take me over the next three months. I learned last summer that trying to keep myself to a regular schedule of posting is near futile, and that I shouldn't expect myself to keep writing after my adventures conclude. However, if I don't post for a while, smack me (physically or digitally, whichever is easier) and remind me there are people I should be updating. I'm going to start off with something I wrote for and about my Bonner Summer of Service, because it seems like an appropriate starting place for two reasons. One, this blog started as a reflection for and about my last Summer of Service, so it seems like a nicely symbolic transition to have it be revived by more reflection. Two, the piece is about the sense of place, something I've been thinking about a good bit recently (but don't articulate as well as I like), and the whole idea of study abroad brings up some questions I have about the importance of place. So, as a little bit of context, I did web-related work for a grassroots group of non-profits in and around the town Davidson. If you want to hear more about it, let me know.
