What? There is no drawing? No prizes? Damn this is worse then when they made me the chief economic adviser and told me there would be no math.
I'm interested in reading other people's stories, as most historians are. Hell, I spend years and years - and still do as I can find them - reading diaries and letters. It's like a window to the soul. And, as any historian knows, reality is much stranger than fiction can ever be. I can share some of what I know with those that trying to find the way, and I like sharing. And I can learn - or at least relate - to what is happening in other places with other people. It's the hard part of living in the SF Bay Area - as time goes on, you forget the rest of the world isn't like this. And it's good to remind myself of that.
It's part of my life, only part, but a critical part, so it feeds that. That is a need to a degree.
Besides if you have a bunch of people showing up for support don't you think there should be some people there, who are there to give support. And that's a need to.
