We were recently blessed here on the mountain by the presence of a fellow novo collegian, Eben Kirksey. Eben and I shared many a green potluck back in the day in Sarasota, and more than once jumped off the roof of Turk's cap house into the tepid waters of the whirlpool below. Eben contacted me through the New College Networking site, and told me he was gearing up for two years of Central American research for an upcoming book. Eben's been in Indonesia and Europe and has publised in many periodicals. His book is fascinating, and his presence was refreshing here in the Zone. I'm sure our paths will cross again, as he might even be back in December to do some writing here. I always love to see old and new friends, and with the baby, it's better if you come to Monteverde. It's worth the trip....
