so... lots happened since my last post and now, but at the same time, not a lot has changed, i guess? although, yes, change is constant. so: the fact that change is constant hasn't changed. 
driving a lot. i've got more than 12000 miles on my new car from august 05 to february 06. given the miles on my 2 year lease, i'm actually supposed to be at 6000 miles. dangit.
working 24/7. mmm... nuff said.
free meals. everywhere i go, people feed me! i go to meetings, i get fed. i have lunch appointments with folks (mainly older than me, "sharing their wisdom"), and they feed me. people give me free tickets to banquet type things-- more free meals. hooray!
uncertainty. constant wondering and constant drifting of my mind to certain things, ideas, questions, and people. some of this could be healthy, some of it not.
knitting. the new love of my life!
still not ____enough. still not reading as much as i want to be, still not be-ing in detroit as much as i want to be, still not keeping in touch with people as much as i want to be.
nutshell-ed lingering thoughts from a phone conversation: i wonder. people definitely change throughout time with experiences, with new knowledge and insights, and with new challenges; but part of them always stays the same... right? is there a core of each person that will always be there? i think so. but perhaps the idea is to find the right balance between constancy and change that is the healthiest for oneself and for the possibilities of contributing good to the world.
