How long ago it all seems

I had a chance to hang out with Greg and Aditya this weekend; I definitely had a good time and enjoyed catching up. One thing I've resolved to do is to be better about meeting up with my high school friends, so it's nice that I've seen a good number of them over the past few months or so. Nevertheless, every time I recall something from high school, it still comes as a bit of a shock to think that these events I can recall with decent clarity are 6 or 7 years in the past. Your memory inevitably becomes longer the older you get, but I don't think I'll ever stop being surprised at how far ago these memories will seem. Down the road, I'll be 40 years old with a family...and I'll wonder what the hell happened to the 15 year-old high school kid who wore oversized t-shirts and cargo pants to school. And then I'll remember it will have been 25 years ago and feel really, really old.
