200483 hours ago I turned 25. - that's half of 50, one third of 75 - I'm now old enough to be able to rent a car at a random airport Without being stranded after having all of the major car rental places (Including the ones which I had called to make sure they were ok with my age) make bizarre excuses about why they can't rent a car to me. (If you are ever in LA, try Ritz Rent A Car (310-641-3222) - Under 25 OK!) True, it isn't all bad, but I still feel old. It seems like just yesterday that I turned 21, but it's been a long time. The bar I went to on the night I turned 21 (Deacon Brodie's) has been closed for years. Oh well - I guess It's more shock than anything else - I guess I missed how time was slipping away during my abortive grad school career; I still feel like time is missing from my life - I can't be this old, I don't remember getting this old. I think it is also how time speeds up as you get older. I think we measure time by comparing it to how long we've been alive. As a kid, an hour is equal to a significant fraction of your life, but as you age, the ratio keeps changing, and time keeps speeding up, faster and faster... hmmmm.... Maybe I should stop working on this, and get out, and do something meaningful :-) reply |
