Sometimes I find it really hard to believe how much time has gone by in my life. Maybe it’s because I've lived away from my hometown for so long. Or maybe still because I don’t see my longtime friends enough.

That’s what happened when I saw Mark and Fern. When I see them I still picture how they were in high school. Still together and haven’t even aged a bit! Then I see their kids. Whoa! Look at them! They’re not kids! They’re all grown up! How old they are here is how old we were when we were all hangin’ out! Do they still say “hangin’ out”?

That’s when I realize I am getting old and time is going pretty fast and and and… well… you get the picture…
