He looks so old
Do I look that old?
Well, I’ve found him. The web is a crazy thing. On a lark I googled for Josh Endicott, a guy I lived with my sophomore year
of college (in a 6 man in Shaw, if I remember correctly). He left denison for Amherst to get a better school
and be closer to his then partner Hollis.
Here he is now. He looks so much older than I remember him. Do we all look that way? It’s been almost 10 years
since I last saw him, and while it’s entirely possible he doesn’t remember me perhaps I’ll take a detour through Eugene
this summer on my way to my cousins wedding and say hello.
But is it right? Is it right to drop in on people you haven’t seen in years? That’s what I’d like to know. People now are not who they were and neither am I. But, maybe I’ll do it anyway, talk to him about my plans for biodiesal.

Every day, I see the pictures of the (relatively) skinny, bushy-haired (that change was by choice, anwyay) babyfaced twentysomething kid in my house and I realize that although I don’t feel much different than 10 years ago, I look so much older. Whether 10 years of working or 4 years of marriage are responsible, I can’t say. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
The really strange one is seeing pictures of my dad at about the age I am now (with toddler me sitting in his lap,) and being blown away by the similarity.

I knew Josh Endicott in high school. My google turned up your reference to your google. How meta. or is it? I don’t think he looks that old (btw your link doesn’t turn up anything: http://casls.uoregon.edu/about/index.php). I think we all begin to look like who we are. Like insects, our youthful looks were only temporary. If you see Josh or are in contact w/ him, say hi for me.
