A Post about Nothing
Blog: Kiva Stories from the Field - 15 February 2011
What’s up with blog posts? Why do they always have to be about something? A post should be just like life. You know, nothing happens — you get up, you eat, you go shopping. I asked myself, “John, what did you do today in Mexico City?” My reply: “I got up and went to work.” [...]
