taking stock 2

what four odd years stateside have done to me:

  • i am able to quite randomly strike up conversations with total strangers when i stand in line or when we pass on the street. very friendly of me.
  • i only barely shudder when bare acquaintances hug me in greeting and i am sometimes able to stop myself from reflexly patting their back as if in comfort.
  • i realize that the word partner refers more often to life partners usually of the same gender, than to a business associate or an accomplice.
