that's so high school
it hit me that i must be a little bit older when i was walking downtown today. i passed a bar, did a double take in the window because i thought i saw one of my old teachers from high school. i drop in to get a closer look and so it is, my speech/argumentation/debate teacher mr. redmond. he was always one of my favorite teachers so i stopped to chat for a while. i told him what i was up to now, and gave him one of my business cards.
when i called him "mr. redmond," he kind of laughed, "you can call me peter now david."
of course. i'm no longer some little punk high schooler getting kicked out of class for making smart allec remarks. i'm a slightly taller punk kid getting paid for making smart allec remarks. high school taught me well.

haha, i do the same thing. i have a voice teacher that I can't bring myself to call by his first name(i've known him for years and we have a good friendship today, still)...it's funny.

yeah. when you know someone by one name, it's hard to start calling them another name. i have a friend whom was my neighbor as a child. then he was known as joey, but now that he's older it's joe, and i still can't get it right.
