Peterb is in town from Pittsburgh. We haven’t seen him in five years, and all of us have been busy in the intervening years—marriage, mortgage, moving—but I think that neither he nor we have changed much.

In a way, that’s very comforting. It’s nice to have a solid foundation of personality that remains immutable despite changing circumstances. On the other hand, why haven’t I changed in the last five years?! I guess I have, but perhaps only subtly. Speaking Japanese doesn’t count. Posted by kuri at July 19, 2001 07:22 AM
