An Old Acquaintance

[ndrosen]

On Tuesday, I went to the security office to get a new badge with the latest updated features, whatever exactly those are, and so did a number of other people, one of whom had been active in USPTO Toastmasters years ago. I’ll give the nom de travaille Helena, since she didn’t authorize me to use her real name on my weblog. We greeted each other, and I recalled that back when we had seen each other regularly at Toastmasters meetings, she had recently had a baby. How old was that baby now, I asked

“She’s nine,” Helena told me.

Time passes.
