a whole new man...

I was talking to a man who lives in Hawaii. We talked about Glacier, about Yellowstone, about New Mexico and North Carolina, and D.C. and New York... about his life and how much he loved it. At one point he looked at me and said "I'm a whole new man." 

"Wow," I responded.

"Do you know why?" he asked. 

"No."

"Because I left."
