    Culture Wrap-Up

    This has been a week of many cultures.  Here’s a rundown of adventures:

    • Thursday: trip to DC for a book signing.  Interviewed many comic-book fans and the author of this book.
    • Friday: First Friday ArtWalk in Richmond, preceded by an authentic Russian dinner.
    • Saturday: Hurricane Hanna kept us inside and postponed the NASCAR race until…
    • Sunday: my friend Enrico made a great video of our time.  I’m trying to get a copy from him so I can post it; stay tuned.

    It’s the kind of week I wished happened every week, and the kind that makes me appreciate friends who value new experiences.  Love it or hate it, a new experience breathes fresh life into our thought processes, challenges our preconceived notions and help us define ourselves - do you ever really know who you are unless you have an understanding of who you aren’t?  Similarly, is there any truer sign of being comfortable with who you are than a willingness to evolve your own self-identity?
