Even in Kyoto

There's a distinction between smugposting and sharing posting -- but when you're the person doing the posting, it's really hard to make that distinction.
I think about how John McPhee writes, where to a large extent he takes himself out of his descriptions and writes "this is what happened" and I try to do the same, rather than always writing "this is what happened to me". (But I don't think I succeed very often.) I think that's part of life-sharing with a minimum of envy-inducement.
