Incognito



















Those who have seen me regularly over the past six months would probably never notice, but I look a bit different now: hair growing out for the first time in about a decade, and 20 or so pounds lighter. Which means skinnier, in my case.

One of the interesting things that has happened as a result: students from last academic year do not recognize me. I've walked by three separate students, remembered their names (which for me was a major victory), greeted them . . . and gotten the "I don't know you but I'll give you the polite 'finehowareyou' anyway" in response.

Oooh, it sends a dart through my heart, it does!
