The Winkley Square People Circle In Preston
Introduction I used to attend Preston Catholic College for my secondary education and one of the main entrances was on Winkley Square. On my monthly visits to Preston I try and walk through this beautiful Georgian Square, though when I was being taught by the Jesuit priests I don't think I appreciated it as much as I do now.

One of Anthony Bourdain’s ‘Parts Unknown’ episodes in the Congo has one of the show’s best scenes where it has a vivid description of Bourdain gazing over New York City from his high-rise apartment in the closing moments, set up against the backdrop of his first and only foray to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Seeing The Multiplicity of Human Realities Through Travel
I have always thought of travel as more than just changing your physical location to another place. To me, it’s also about seeing alternate realities in the sense that you get to witness how people around the world have distinct ways of living, thinking, and experiencing the world that challenge and even change your own perspective.

Read when you're in Miami
2/25/25 Mac's Club Deuce, Miami FL You will always be my special friend, Drinking a Jai Alai & a margarita at this dive in my twin's old neighborhood. This was where she had her first legal drink at 21. The first time I came to visit her, we were reunited for the first time in years after we'd left home. She lived in an apartment blocks from the beach with someone she doesn't know any more. Life works like that; we spend so much time with our special friends, lovers, even family members that we don't see again once the tide goes out.
