You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™
The passage of time.
The sands of the hour glass are blowing faster than ever, wildly like an Arabian sand storm.
My youngest son just turned 14. Happy Birthday little man.
Now riddle me this Batman.
14 years? How the hell did that happen? When the hell did that happen?
Is the world spinning around the sun faster than it use to?
How can a year feel like a month? It does.
Tonight I gave him an electric guitar and amp for his birthday. His eyes got all big and he said “for me?”
Yep.
Rock out son.
It seems like yesterday that I was buying him Bob the Builder toys.
14 years.
I still remember the day he was born. It’s hard to forget. It was Thanksgiving Day. It was easy for me. I watched football and was in charge of ice chips.
Easy peazy.
Infancy to Toddler to pre school to goofy elementary school kid. Now it’s middle school and all the trappings of teenage angst.
Where did 14 years go?
It’s as if the record has been sped up, the carousel set to high RPM’s.
I look in the mirror and I still see the face of a young man. I feel like I could still be in college.
1998. It seems like yesterday.
Remember? California outlaws smoking in bars. Kerry Wood strikes out 20 Houston Astros. The last episode of Seinfeld airs.
We were just begining to talk about Y2K.
Time is the great equalizer. 1 year becomes 14 which becomes 40.
Enjoy every moment because moments are fleeting. Based on the electric guitar that just walked out the door, it seems that those moments are speeding up every chance they get.
And that is crazy.™
