Halfway to 70

How did I go from this


to this


In just 20 short years?

On another note, when did "20 years ago" become part of my vocabulary? I can remember feeling, for the longest time, that 20 years ago was part of some distant past that happened before I was born.

Now it's something that happened when I was in junior high...almost high school.

That's enough to make anyone feel old.

And what in the hell happened to my 20's? It's like I turned around twice and I'm halfway through my thirties.

I think I'm done having birthdays.
