Called up Baryon today

Posted on August 6th, 2004 by Sacha Chua

Called up Baryon as promised. We talked about hair, surviving in
Japan, grad school…

It’s funny how people are stylized in our memories. I remembered him
slow, measured, almost drawling. Perhaps even a bit intimidating. But
now I think of him almost as I think of the others. He is not as old
as I remembered him to be.

It would be nice to see him face to face again. One of these years,
perhaps.
