A lot is new.
I practically feel like
a new person since I
last saw you. Where do
I start?

Nothing. I’m exactly the
same as you last saw me.
Actually, i’ve gotten
younger.

Where do I start? Since
you last saw me I graduated
from high school, graduated
from college, got a job, got married,
and had 2 kids.

Let me think…I can’t think of anything

A lot. I got promoted a couple
of times, became ceo and earned billions
of dollars, and now Im flying in my personal
jet to my own island

Nothing. I sat in an empty room all this
time and haven’t said a word.

The question So, whats new? Is
stupid. There is always way too much
to even start to tell you. Ask about something
specific.
