twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2002.03.15

Today I had a bit of a shock. A friend from my early childhood found me on the Internet and dropped me a line. I haven't seen him since maybe 1980 or so. Damn, when did I get old enough that I could say, "I haven't seen so-and-so in over twenty years!"?

I like my buddies from west Texas. I liked them when I was young, I liked them when I was middle-age, I liked them before I was president, and I like them during president, and I like them after president.

—George W. Bush
