But who wants that? You keep an awesome, quirky blog and I don't know how many followers you have, but I read Lost City religiously. It seems like you get a lot from joy riding your bike around, taking pictures, researching things you're passionate about, exploring, talking to people and hanging out with your family. I like that definition of success a lot more.Rebecca Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983717614390664896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-27929884877241499762010-03-03T10:21:46.382-08:002010-03-03T10:21:46.382-08:00Bureaucrat-money-speak is the most boring talk goi...Bureaucrat-money-speak is the most boring talk going on.
