Then and Now

Digging through a bunch of old technical papers I found an email that I had printed off. It was a list of things you might have thought about years ago, and how they would be thought of now.

Now: Being grateful to not be dead.

Then: Getting out to a new "hip" joint.
Now: Getting a new hip joint.

Then: Being called into the principal's office.
Now: Storming into the principal's office.

Then: Peace sign.
Now: Mercedes logo.

Then: Getting your head stoned.
Now: Getting your headstone.

Then: Long hair.
Now: Longing for hair.

Then: Acid rock.
Now: Acid reflux.

Then: Worrying about no one coming to your party.
Now: Worrying about no one coming to your funeral.

Then: A keg.
Now: An EKG.

Then: Swallowing acid.
Now: Swallowing antacid.

Then: Passing the driving test.
Now: Passing the vision test.

Then: "Whatever"
Now: Depends.
