Met up with a couple of my former co-workers today for breakfast.  We talked mostly about work, even though Cheryl is a retired parole agent and I am also retired.  Cheryl had commented once before that people who work in corrections become so saturated with this environment that you never leave it all behind.  It is the prism through which we observe the world.  I remarked today that it is like a stain you just can't get out.
