I find it entirely unbelievable that the Charlie Hebdo shooting happened less than a year ago. I actually had to Google it right now because I was convinced that it’s been much, much longer. I’ve lived so much since then, I’m an entirely different person. So much has happened in my life – and it’s only been 10 months ago??
This post is not about Charlie Hebdo per se. It was an event that left a vivid memory and I remember exactly where I was (at a coffee-shop in Montreal’s Hampstead) when I first heard about it. So now it serves as a way to measure personal time.

You’ve ask us to do this annual exercise where we have to think about ways in which we’ve changed our intellectual positions on some major issues. And I love it! Could you tell us how you’ve changed? Basically, could you expand more on this:
“I’m an entirely different person.”

Wish you hadn’t said that! I’m not good with suspense.

I remember where I was too (and find it hard to believe it was less than a year ago). I was looking at the internet between classes and saw the report on Drudge Report and then told my office mate… who is from France about it (and they freaked out a little).

A really great reader of this blog was lost to the discussion of Charlie Hebdo, and I’m still sad about that.
