Last week in Homer was made more lively than usual by crossing paths with Philip Greenspun. We got connected through Dave Winer, who Brad just met at Gnomedex in Seattle and who pointed out the synchronicity of them being in Homer at the same time. We met Philip for dinner at The Homestead Restaurant. It’s great to meet people who live literally on the other side of the continent (our old stomping grounds, Cambridge, Mass) through a couple of degrees of separation. We had a lively conversation about the nature of success and definitions of "enough" and why it’s so hard to find someone to share your life with — and the other usual topics. The next night we had dinner at Fat Olives, which is the local gourmet pizza place (who knew you could get Gorgonzola, mandarin orange pizza in Homer? Yum!) and came back to our house and kept talking. I like to talk. And sometimes like to listen. Philip is definitely an interesting guy. I hope he comes and stays with us next summer.
