You go away for a while, you go get old somewhere else, and then when you come back everything is pretty much the same except the bathroom fixtures feel a little smaller and a little lower to the ground, some babies have been born, what was once Video Hut is now a scary “organic food” place with giant posters of Kristie Alley in the window and nothing vaguely organic-looking about it, you’re the same age as everyone else eating brunch on the sidewalk and you really, really like everything they play on KCRW.
