I encountered myself from years ago. There is even a photo that Lanfranco took in Singapore in 2008 where I look not just 10 years, but 20 years younger than my current age of 65. I could not transfer the blog from wordpress to blogger with an xml file, like one would normally do, but had to bring the posts over one by one. And, I ended up reading a lot of them, of course. For the most part, I cannot believe the naivete. I certainly cannot believe how shut off I seem to have been from world affairs. Which is probably the biggest change that I have undergone in the interim.
Did I finally grow up then? The person writing before 2012 sounds like a teenager, quite frankly. I hope I did grow up.
We shall see…
