Reaching Back Into the Past

I recently reconnected with someone who I knew 20 years ago.

Hmm. I just read that sentence above and I now feel rather OOOLLLLLDDDD. God, where does the time go? As I write this, I am 46 years old. But I don't FEEL that age at all. Oh, and he's now 51 years old. Holy cow!

In addition to reaching out to him, I have reached out to another old friend who is now...60!!!! None of this makes sense to me. I remember thinking that 40 was old. I mean, OOOOLLLLLLDDDDD! It's very strange, this aging thing, Do not even mention the word, "perspective" to me, okay? Just don't.

I am dismayed to realize how much time has gone by while I was living my life. I realize that this is not a novel thought, but its hitting me rather hard tonight. So, I had to "let it out" via the writen word.
