I think not having my own kids has allowed me to feel more in suspended animation- there arent the daily markers...yet.
But a few years ago, one of my former elementary school students introduced himself to me in a bar. That was a wierd kinda time lapse. I didnt know him all growed up. But then, after he started talking, I could see the 12 year old smart alec in there. Turned into a cool guy.
Also, just last week when watching a 18 year old NHL player skate the warmup, it dawned on me that the parka I was wearing is older than him. and its a great parka.
