I just saw myself in the mirror as I came back from a trip to get more ginger cookies in the kitchen. The image in the mirror was much more eye-catching than usual: I'm wearing green sweatpants and a fuzzy blue jacket over the bright red t-shirt with I Love Math printed on it that I got from my college roommate some years back. I was carrying two cookies and wearing an enormous grin.

I've seen pictures of myself eating cookies when I was young. Some things have changed little over the years.
