Yesterday I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in awhile.  "Thirty seconds...summarize your life in the last few years," he said.  Quite a tall order.  Luckily he had specific questions that got me to my thirty seconds (and then some). 

I think the key to these interactions is figuring out what people want to hear, or care about.  When I returned to work after a three-year absence, I had a lot of these type of conversations.  "You haven't changed at all!" was a common remark.  A compliment - I think? 

A brilliant thought!  People should just read my blog! But oh wait.  I think I'm supposed to be documenting my life on Facebook, where everyone gets their news about everyone else.  At least, I sure do.
