I had a recent trip out of town. It was a pleasant trip to a place I very much like to visit. Since I was traveling for an organization I represent, it was not going to cost me much, except the time I would spend away from campus and from my friends. I always miss that, but the trade-off is not bad. I get to meet new people and, maybe, see some old friends. So off I went. I like being in different cities. Each city has its own characteristics. Often there is a different offering of restaurants---sometimes with local ethnic fare. I like experimenting with different options. It is on trips like this, I realize again how very provincial my growing up on an Indiana farm really was. I don’t lament that, but I am grateful that I have begun to experience a much bigger world. I am not sure we can understand and appreciate just how big and diverse...
