I picked up a book, one I’ve had for a while but have never finished, off a shelf at home a couple of weeks ago. It’s a dense book, non fiction, that includes a lot of ideas that take a bit of processing. Physically this book isn’t easy to read either: the type face is an older style and one that I don’t find very friendly in a size that makes me believe that finally I’ve reached that point in my life where my arms are starting to be too short.<\/p>\n

But I’ve been working my way through this book starting from the beginning because I know only vaguely what is in the first couple of chapters. I turned a page today and startled myself. There scrawled in the margin in pencil was a note that I’d made at least a dozen years ago the last time I tried to read this book.<\/p>\n

My handwriting hasn’t changed much, and neither have my thought processes as I was having the very same thought reading this page now that I’d jotted in the margin previously.<\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking a lot lately how time and experience change us. Probably it’s part of that whole figuring out if I’m going to the reunion thing<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 More, though, I think I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to learn from my mistakes in my life time. \u00c2\u00a0 It’s corrollary to the “I’d like to be old when I die” school of thought:\u00c2\u00a0 I’d like to find out along the way instead of having all the answers at the end of the game when they do me no good.<\/p>\n
