Dramatis persona*

helenhead Helen Chick

I've always wanted a bumper sticker that said "I'm a female, LDS/Mormon, Scout leading, geocaching, piano-playing, bicycling, mathematics educator with a PhD in maths ... and I VOTE"!

I think this makes me a minority group of cardinality 1!

* Since there's only one of me and "personae" is plural (I think), I've gone with dramatis persona.

“You haven’t changed a bit”

Since moving back to Tasmania I have been meeting up with people that I used to know from various times in my pre-Victorian past. In some cases, I haven’t seen these folks since long before I moved to Melbourne 13 years ago.

On many occasions early in the conversation they have said to me “You haven’t changed a bit”.

I always find it hard to know how to respond to this, and I certainly have no idea if it is true. In fact, there’s probably only one way to resolve this question. One of these days I might get around to doing a blog post of photos from various ages of my life, but that requires going through my only partly organised archives and doing some scanning, and right now I don’t have time for this.

It would also be extremely embarrassing.

Hmmm … it won’t be hard—and likely will remain true—to continue to claim that I don’t have time!

As a starting point for discussion, however, I present the following photo … which, to my bemusement, can probably be used for both sides of the argument.
