Ten days after my last day at Georgetown Law came my first day at Winrock International. A welcome sign, a tour, a lunch and a meet-and-greet all made me feel at home. As did lots of friendly people.

Now I just have to remember the new names, learn a new line of work and adjust to a new routine.

Ah, change! Can’t live with it; can’t live without it.

But of course we all live with it. Every day we grow a little older, a little bit different than we were yesterday. Those of us with children need no reminder that life moves on. But no one can avoid the truth entirely.

A change in routine merely makes more obvious what is true all the time.
