I’m Getting Older

This feels like a post I should make on my birthday, but that’s still 7 months away. This is actually something that came from my twitter account (FOLLOW ME HERE) earlier today.

I wrote in successive tweets:

I was confronted in the last 24 hours with the fact that I’m getting older. Here’s how I know:

1) I’m shrinking. I used to be a lot closer to the 6ft mark on the gas station door height measuring sticker

2) In a mtg this morning a man was casting a very big vision and I felt his timeline for accomplishing it was too ambitious (hate this one)

3) I was ticked last night that I missed the 2nd half of the previous days “Deal or No Deal” episode to see how well the guy did

I would also add:

4) The difference in time between when I wake up now and when I went to bed in college is rapidly decreasing

5) I made a reference to a show the other night, and most of my high school students hadn’t been born yet when the show was on the air

There are many more I’m sure, but what are some things in your life that point to the fact that you’re getting older?

1) When I was younger I used to watch award shows and knew all the bands, songs, movies, etc. and liked most of it. Now when I watch them I don’t know who half of the people are and I have actually said, “music is not as good as it used to be”. Ouch!

2) By the time I stumble upon fashion trends, they are no longer in style. Even worse, I really don’t care.

3) I have WAY more gray hair than anyone will every know about.

I could go on and on but this is just depressing. You are not old. Just wait until you turn 30!

Jeremy, I a little older than you (a long time ago) when sitting at a traffic signal, I looked at the police officer in the police car next to me and thought, “What’s that kid doing driving that cop car?”
