Consolidation

As I mentioned before before, I ended up recovering access to my old tripod account. I had not realized it, but at some point I had ported some of my posts from there to beernut.ca. I had not ported February to May 2003, but I've now done that to here. I didn't read them carefully (hopefully there's nothing too incriminating). It's always amusing to read something that I wrote from so long ago. Different concerns, different dreams, different goals and frustrations. A different me. A Jim that only existed in that time.

In some ways it makes sense that people change over time. Explains things like divorce rates. People are simply not the people that they once were. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. (For the record, Laura has totally made me better.)

As we approach 7 years married (where did the time go?), I looked up the seven-year itch so that I could make a joke about it. That was until I read the biological origin of the phrase - ewww. So, if I make any reference to the t7YI it will strictly in the modern "married too long" sense.

t7YI seems funny to me because the thought that I wouldn't be ecstatic with Laura is... well, laughable. As I think about t7YI, and our family and friends that have had a rougher go of things, it very quickly stops being funny. And that's a downer, so let's end this topic with the happiest thought that I can think about.
