Variance

So many firsts already this month, and we're not even a week into the new year. Change in this City is about the only thing that's not new- there's always patterns to the growth, to the setbacks, but they're never quite the same.

It's something I personally can appreciate- I enjoy progress, perhaps even live for it. I'm striving to become a better man, looking for things to tweak, to fix, as many of you well know. So I want to thank everyone who's been giving me firsts this year. New experiences are always welcome.

In particular, I must thank you again, Lucy. You're far too kind to me. I imagine you don't know what the signifigance of wearing a new watch is to me, but maybe someday I can explain it to you. It really is a beautiful piece.

For all these changes, the Network seems rather quiet the last few days. Recuperating, maybe?
