Return of the Georgie-Pie!

My high school English teacher use to say that very few people change in the span of four years. Sure, they may be doing different things, but at the core of their personalities, they remain the same. That's just human nature. (If memory serves accurately, we were discussing the predictability of the human condition according to Shakespeare. For those of you who went to Gonzaga, three guesses who that teacher was.)

Well, almost four years has passed since my last post! Since it's been so long and since those entries were written with a particular focus, I thought about starting anew. I still may, yet I'm curious to see whether what I write now will belie any characteristics manifested in those previous posts.

As a final preface to this theme, let me just say that I don't feel inherently dissimilar. However, I do feel that I am more aware of certain idiosyncrasies. Can that cognizance alone be sufficient to effect change?

In any case, I'm back! If you're reading this blog, know that it's because I value your friendship. I've only invited a few to read what may end up being my rambling thoughts. Who knows? I may not end up writing again for another four years! Nevertheless, your thoughtfulness touches me.
