Long Time No See

Ran into an old friend from Kansas City today. Ellen apparently moved to the City last year and she's getting acclimated to its wonder, wonderfulness, wackoes, and wackiness. She and I used to work for Planned Parenthood in Kansas City and are big-time left-wing liberals from the conservative enclave of the Midwest, and yet find ourselves Relative conservatives in the world of San Francisco. Actually, Ellen took over my job as I left for wider pastures (or, rather, smaller apartments) on the Coasts of the East and then the West.

Speaking of wider issues, she commented that I looked good "filled out" which took me aback for a second until I realized that she hasn't seen me since my 125lb days. Most people now say how much I look better now that I lost weight. I forget that some people haven't seen me throughout the whole up-n-down. Ah, history is alive with friends we forget to remember. And then it comes jumping back and becomes a new fuller history of life. Life is funny that weigh, er, way.
