I started this blog thinking I'd like a public persona seperate from my personal blog (which has become very, very personal in the last few months). I figured the life of a tour guide would be compelling and exotic. Then I spent a few months alternately ignoring the blog or bitching about my boss. You know, like every other blog on earth ( Read more... )
