    TorgoX, it's like you're talking about me! Like, I know this one guy -- he's from REVERE, MA! And I know this other guy -- he's lives WAY out in Carver, MA. Heck, I know people go to CAPE COD for just a WEEKEND. Wild! And I don't want to brag, but I have close friends that live in distant NEW HAMPSHIRE. My own family is from the Old Country (Worcester, MA) and boy, do we get ribbed about our CRAZY ACCENTS! Don't be jealous: I live in METROPOLITAN BOSTON where I meet NEW and EXOTIC people EVERYDAY.

    I probably have more friends in New York than I have within 20 miles of where I live. And I chat with most of them daily (hourly?), whereas my "local" friends only see me once every few weeks.

  • Local friends and family were amazed when I started on the wolf book. I had co-authors in Boston and Helsinki. Neither of them had been to Toronto but I knew them well enough from p5p to agree to work with them on a significant undertaking even though none of us had (at that time) met face to face.
