Can you believe that Ferris Bueller's Day Off was released 23 years ago? I remember begging my dad to let us see that in the theater (it was rated PG-13; Dad had to carefully consider whether or not he wanted to expose his under-13 children to the adult themes sure to present themselves in the film).
Wandering around life, doing day-to-day things, I don't really feel that old. But when I ponder random trivia like this, and think about where it falls in the timeline of my life, I feel ancient.
I graduated from high school in 1993. That seems like it was only a few years ago. But ah-ha! do the math and 1993 was somehow seventeen years ago. How is that possible???? Let's see: if I'm 34 now, and graduated when I was 17, that means HALF OF MY LIFE has gone by since graduation. Where did it all go? What did I do with the past 17 years?
Argh.
