Don't know if that's true but I hear you on time flying. Things that happened 10 years ago seem like they were just "a little while ago".

I never thought of it in those terms. That does bring perspective to an age old question.


High school seemed like an eternity to me because I am sure hell will be modeled after high school. Everyone said I'd miss it. As I am now in my mid 40's, I don't know when that is supposed to kick in, but it sure hasn't yet.
