Speed!

Love it on the bike, not so much when it deals with life.

Someone once told me “Life is like a roll of toilet paper; it goes faster the closer you get to the end”,  seems true enough.  Over the past few days I have been thinking about the changes which have occurred in my life and just how quickly they have happened…

• Pants size increased to 36″.
• Relocation to Springfield was 20 years ago. Still feel like an outsider.
• My baby boys are now 22 and 19.
• I have one dark hair left. All others are gray.
• Need glasses to read a damn billboard!  Not quite that bad.  Yet!
• The new puppy is now 85lbs and 7 years old.
• Dad is now in heaven.

I am coming to the place where I no longer fight to hold onto the things of the past, but rather look forward to new adventures awaiting for me just up the road a bit.
