What's New is Old
Kate Schechter (Back on the right side of the pond) Started conversation Oct 24, 2011
Through the years, I have been back and back to this place, easily my longest running home on the web. I come back and look at the faces I recognize and marvel at how many are new, and I say little or nothing and wander off, but always I return.
And now, when I return, when I land on the front page, I can't help but be a little bit awed by how much it feels like the home it originally was, 12 years ago for me. It probably sounds silly and trite to say that it feels like a fog has lifted, but it really does. There is a definite shift in aura, from that of a place that was once silly that was trying now to be serious, to one that has rediscovered the joy that being silly can bring, and the revelation that silliness and seriousness are not mutually exclusive.
In other words, it's just so good to see home being home again. Welcome back, h2g2!
