I was thinking of a scene from the movie "Until the End of the World". It was a scene in a bar where the leading actress was localizing. The Scene took place in 1999, and the song playing was 'Until the End of the World' by U2. When I first saw the movie (which was in 1991) I thought, funny that song is old in the move, since the song was released in 1991. At that time I wondered how far in the future 1999 was. What mysteries lay ahead. Now that we have flew by the year 1999, I realized how little really the world has change, when we always think it should. I thought that things don't move as fast as we think, yet when looking back the big changes largely go unnoticed at the time. Change is so glacial. I need to view that movie again.

Ah yes, 1991. I remember it well- and you were a big part of it!! We haven't spoken in at least 15 years, but I would love to find some way to catch up (even though your blog has enlightened me a great deal in learning about who you are now!) I still live in BC, but will be in TO in three weeks. Would love to hear from you-
your old friend,
Geri
