plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Owen and my boss, Kimiko, in 2007. He was wearing yukata so he could present bunraku performers with flowers after the show. He'd run into something on the playground that week, hence the cuts on his face. After he presented the flowers on stage, he said to me, "Mommy, isn't it great I'm a star?"

If you go to about the 5:00 minute mark you can see Owen in all his glory.

And yesterday, again with Kimiko, my now retired former boss.

Wow.
