Out to drinks with some friends, Mike says, "I didn't know you're a writer."
Kristie says, "Yeah, she's got all these different lives nobody knows anything about."
This is becoming more relevant again in my day-to-day life, and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Wandering around San Francisco with the bar boss, I was saying how much I hate places like Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz and anywhere even slightly touristy, and the reason is because they're not relevant anymore, they're not alive, they're not contributing anything. I prefer to celebrate culture, history, life in general, in the context of the present.
