On Some Level

On some level it feels like I never left home. Here I am with friends and family and we are still talking about what is going to happen to the Blazers next season, high gas prices and what everyone else is doing. People are laughing at the same types of jokes, are still excited to do the same sort of things and are still addicted to coffee.

In some ways however, it is utterly different. Suddenly my friends are all entering adulthood full-on. Talking about salary rates and 401K's. Hanging out with new friends and telling stories that I am so lost in that I need a map to make sense of anything. Is there any way to get back to normal? Does that even matter?

Do I have to grow up too?

How far to the nearest beach people?
