re: Do you ever ask yourself "Where did all the time go?"

I think once you get over 45, society becomes unfit for you to thrive in and people pare down friends and social outings for more personal fulfillment. Culture is always geared toward the teen and 20 something.

"Time flies" is an understatement. Most people will never do the things they keep putting off.

All the time

I literally can’t stop thinking about how I’m doing nothing but getting older every day

It’s pathological

I was thinking the other day, damn it sucks getting older and having so many people die. I also thought the other day, it’s cool getting older and watching all of these kids grow up.

Speaking of which...

Cool to have sons grow up to a point where they want to buy Dad a beer. And legally can!

This is why I place so much emphasis on travel and making memories with people rather than buying toys and new cars every other year.
You only have so much time. It's your most valuable asset.

Makes you realize that sitting in a fricking office posting on TD for 8-9 hours a day really sucks.

Back in the 90s I was working at a music store. We'd gotten a poster for some Dr Dre CD, but what I remember about it was that we had it the break room, and one day it caught my attention. I think it was probably some greatest hits thing over a decade or something.

Point is, the poster had years written like this:

1982 - 1983 - 1984 - 1985 - 1986 - 1987 - 1988 - 1989 - 1990- 1991- 1992

The passage of time hit me for the first time seeing that. When you think "ten years" it doesn't quite hit home. But when you see it listed like this, with each year being distinct, each year having 365 days each with 24 hours...you realize how much time has already passed.

And now, it's been THIRTY YEAR since that realization, which is even crazier.

My "little" girl will be 14 in Sept. I look at her and it's almost like looking at a grown woman.

We always took video and images of her as she growing up and thank God we did.

I spent a long of money on DslR's and video cams. Worth every single cent spent on hardware and hard drive space.

Today, even the cheapest cell phone can take pictures and cheap digital cameras are available at your local WMT or Target.

Cameras are time machines.

This. And add kids to that makes it worse. You see in real time how fast it is going versus how fast it felt. My sons entire junior high photos are on one device. One iPhone. It actually goes back to about 4th grade.
