Mid-20
Time travel back to Aug. 6, 1994
Dave has gone to visit David.

'94 David has just finished a run in Happy Rock park. He's soaked in sweat, but relatively happy with the start of another Cross Country season.

'04 Dave can't help but admire his big beautiful curly hair. It's so big. It's so messy.

'94 David notices balding, oddly-familiar looking man staring at him.

'04: Hey. I'm you 10 years from now.
'94: Yea?!
What's it like?
'04: It's a different kind of lonely.
'94: But I turn out ok? I mean you look ok...except for the hair.
'04: You've got 8 or so more years with that, grow it big man. The Wall will rise.
'94: The Wall?
'04: You'll find out soon enough.
'94: What am I like?
'04: Never an easy question... A glimpse 10 years from now- you'll (we'll?) be sitting at your Macintosh computer writing. You'll sip water off your back, cause you're thirsty from a run. You're training for a marathon. You're waiting for some friends you've had for a while to go out for dinner or something.
'94: I can see it.
'94: Where am I?
'04: It's more fun if you don't know.
'94: Huh.
'04: I got to go.
'94: See you in 10.
'04: Right on, kid.
