So true.

For a 10 year old a year lasts 1/10 of his reality.

For a 40 year old a year only takes 1/40.........

For a 60 year old a year only takes 1/60, practically a blink of the eye.

This is why Christmas keeps coming earlier and earlier each year....because our population is an aging one.

This is why when you look in the fridge of someone over 70 there's certain to be at least one food container with a use by date from the last Olympiad.

This is why older drivers go so slow....to them they're flying.

This is why I am not the least bit jealous of those who live into their 100's.....those last couple of decades must have flown by so fast that perception wise they really didn't live much more than a few weeks longer than someone who only made it to 85
