The floodgates have opened…

I’ve already reconnected with some diarists from the Old Days.  The dichotomy between those who are pretty much exactly where/what they were when OD shut down and those who have evolved/broadened their horizons is pretty stark.

As someone mentioned in a private note, it’s amazing how some people are documenting how they continue to make the same mistakes again and again over the years, yet still play the victim.  There are those in life who start every day by shooting themselves in the foot, then complain about how much their foot hurts.
