Spin Doctoring/Or Come See Me Or U Don't Git No Ice Cream
Most travelers (with good reason) are reluctant to cross the border. While the violence is mostly targeted, the fear is that one may be caught in the cross fire. Certainly the recent incident where 2 American Consulate employees were killed in Juarez adds to that concern. Before anyone goes ballistic on the topic, I do understand that travel warnings are issued for other parts of the world. However, Baja is closer than Africa or parts of the Middle East. Hemingway would probably consider it a personal challenge to explore dangerous places as he did so as World War 2 journalist/correspondent along with this third wife, Martha Gelhorn, whose life story in some ways, rivals his. Both spent many years abroad as successful and well recognized members of the ex pat community.— July 19, 2010 11:24 a.m.
Spin Doctoring/Or Come See Me Or U Don't Git No Ice Cream
Hemingway was the ultimate ex pat who was rich and successful enough to own his Cuban Finca but could travel the world. Ending his life by his own hand back in Ketchum, Idaho seemed almost ironic. It is as if he came home to die on American soil. A family history of multiple suicides, alcoholism, and depression plus his serious head injuries in some senses made his manner of death inevitable. Not all ex pats can achieve Hemingway's success because they lack his genius and discipline. I suppose that many have tried or are trying.— July 18, 2010 10:17 p.m.

We are all interconnected. Every absence diminishes us. Every addition enriches us. John Donne knew this and wrote a meditation on the matter. "No Man Is an Island" by John Donne No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of they friend's or of thine own were: Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.— July 18, 2010 9:32 p.m.
