I've been in Berea, Kentucky, for nineteen years now, and that's about as long as I've stayed anywhere. But if we have another four years of Commander Kumquat--whether it's a bona fide reelection or another Russian-backed coup d'etat--I'll be thinking of becoming an expat again, someplace I've never been, maybe Ecuador or Chile. I'm more encumbered by possessions than I used to be (like a house), but they can be sold or given away. I've relocated overseas before (Asia and the Middle East), and I was gone for fifteen years. I suspect I can do it again, and while I see how things go politically, I'll be taking Spanish classes....

DharmaBum50 comments on Aug 5, 2019:

1984 was not a happy time for me, but I was poised on the brink of change. I was working a boring low-pay dead-end job in Louisville, KY, with one useless masters degree under my belt, and my fiancee having hit the road three years earlier. During that three years, I remained alone and angry as hell and seriously into punk and very dark alternative music. But anger can also be energizing, and it's pretty much what got me through my second masters that ended up changing my life. A year later, I found myself teaching in Seoul, South Korea, too busy learning to live in another culture to stay focused on the inner darkness.

The closest I got to that was when I lived in this big boarding house back home in Durham, NC. Most of the residents were Duke grad students, including me, but there were a couple other sorts, including a nurse from Louisiana and a Weatherman just released from prison.

Trump Cancels Appearance At The NAACP Convention Because He Doesn’t Want To Be Asked Questions | ...

DharmaBum50 comments on Jul 23, 2019:

Not a huge surprise. Great response from the NAACP Board Chairman Leon Russell: “It’s extremely unfortunate that during these pressing and urgent times, the President has chosen to turn his back on the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization – though I must admit, his refusal to attend our convention is not totally unexpected. “As a nonpartisan civil rights organization, we’ve hosted President Obama, Clinton, Bush Jr., and Reagan, to name a few. This is a historic departure from past presidents’ engagements with the Association. “During his campaign, President Trump asked us ‘what do you have to lose?’ This is the second time President Trump has refused an offer to speak at our annual convention. We get the message loud and clear. The President’s decision today underscores the harsh fact: we have lost – we’ve lost the will of the current Administration to listen to issues facing the Black community."
