Small town living – you gotta love it! Bisbee is a town of about 6000 people more or less with a core group of about 1000 active players. There is a strong set of pluses and minuses to small town living. You’ll see everyone you like within 24 hours of rolling into town. But, you’ll see everyone you don’t like with in 24 hours, with special emphasis on ex-lovers and former friends. You know everyone standing in line at the post office. It takes forever to get anywhere because you keep stopping to chat. The postal clerk will get your mail out of your box if you forget your key. You have the post office box because they will not deliver mail to your house! You forget that the little market up the street does not take credit cards. However they do accept IOU’s written on a little scrap of paper with no ID. This applies if you are a little short until payday too.

After having lived on the border for more than 20 years (my home in AZ is less than 3 miles from Mexico) I have a good grasp of this situation.

Ok I’ll admit it – I’ve always liked Martha Stewart! Not the most popular stance but it’s true. I know, she doesn’t do it all and I really don’t care! Personally I think finding the right people to do the job for you is nearly as big a talent as doing it yourself. Do I feel lessened because I can’t do all I see on her TV show? No! Do I like to use her ideas – you bet! Her latest incarnation is by far my favorite. While many people would have taken this whipping and slunk off into the shadows she’s still swinging. Martha has come back stronger than ever and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next! She’s certainly not perfect but I admire her determination.
