Her: "So I looked at your new blog."
Me: "Really? Wow, that's flattering. ...What d'ya think?"
Her: " What'd I think?"
Me: "...Yeah."
Her: "...Well,...actually. I don't see much difference between 'Staying Put and Watching the World Go 'Round' and taking a 'Long Intermission.' I mean, there is no difference--is there? You should've just kept the old blog."
Me: "What?! Of course there's a difference. There's a big difference. A...huge difference."
Her (laughs): "Oh yeah? What's that?"
Me: "What's different? Well,...everything. Stays Put was before. It's the old blog. This is now."
Her: "Um hmm. Well, anyway, I've been waiting for something new. You haven't posted in a long time, so what's up with that? Got writer's block?"
Me: "Not at all. ...Guess I just had to get some living in this week."
Her: "How old are you again?"
Me: "44"
Her: "...Probably a good idea."
