Mike Rostron on the continuing road.
My penchant for quiet online reflection was sated by an Internet neighbour this morning. My impression of people who have lived a while longer than me may have been too bland growing up, because I still notice how unusual it feels to take note of qualities I don't imagine time should or would affect in a person, such as enthusiasm, wonder, interest in learning, or eagerness to begin some project or creation.
(Also, a poetic defense of Prince Derek's "what else is there?".)
