I am also living in the same house, a different house than Andy. It is the longest I’ve lived anywhere, now that I think about it. I’ve lived here with my wife two weeks shy of 4,000 days. Our daughter has lived here, and just lived generally, for 90% of that time, almost exactly. The house has been occupied by someone for a month shy of 45,000 days. We have been renovating a bathroom for the last 1% of our time in this house. We opened the wall and found the name of a former resident, Sally, a teenager, written boldly on the interior drywall. Sally wrote her name and dated it in February 1959, almost exactly halfway through the lifespan of this house to date. How did she know she’d found the middle? Inspired by Sally, my daughter wrote her own name nearby on the drywall before we sealed it up again. The house, if it stands, will be 90,000 days old in January 2143. This is the middle, now.

I'm living in the same house, which still isn't finished (bought as a major renovation project late 2007, will never really be done.)
It's the longest I've ever lived in one place since I was kid, and it's frankly a little bit terrifying how quickly time slips by without the major upheaval of a move to use as a point of reference in time.

A lot has changed. What’s something that is pretty much the same for you compared to 2009?
