I went to a talk by author Peter Lovenheim last night. It was sponsored by the Raleigh Citizen Advisory Council, of which I’m a part. Lovenheim wrote a book about his neighborhood and asked his neighbors if he could sleep over to find out more about them. I’ve just gotten his book In The Neighborhood this week and haven’t had a chance to dig into it yet.

I’ve been meaning to write up my thoughts about his talk but I’ve been getting up at 4 AM every morning this week to conduct training for work. Conducting training takes a lot of energy itself, but when it also begins at 4 AM it is especially draining. A full write-up will have to wait until I get a little downtime!
