When I think about that history -- even though that's about migration, not tourism -- it gives me a particular context for cheering for Bryan Washington and Rahawa Haile.

blast from the past

I was stumbling around the English Wikipedia category "ABC News personalities" today to try to remember Bill Kristol's name, and found out that someone I went to high school with has a Wikipedia biography and has won an Emmy. Goodness! I remember her being nice in high school and I remember a piece she wrote for the literary magazine about dealing with her mom's lupus. I'm glad she is doing well.

I suppose she might be one of the two most famous people to ever graduate from our high school, the other being one of the cofounders of Pavement. Also I wonder what it would be like to be on Facebook, just for a day, to more easily find out stuff like this.
