Don't you feel it?

After just about then, time starts passing a lot faster. I'm 62 now so pushing 3/4 of the way through adulthood by your reckoning, and I'm getting nervous because I seem to be at best half-way through what I want to do with my life.

Cheer up, it may not last that long. My best friend from age 13 (mutual Best Man and all that) died in his 50s from a heart attack quick enough that he didn't even get out of the chair. Good way to go but way too early. My second best friend, from about age 17 or so, had a massive stroke in his 50s and is completely paralysed on one side. He was planning just a few more years hard work so he would have the money to enjoy the rest of his life (instead he could afford a really good wheelchair). And I guess my third-best mate died of heart disease, also in his 50s. I'm dancing as fast as I can now, I feel like I'm on borrowed time.

Incidentally I'm now old enough to look at younger incarnations of myself and not quite recognise them. I tried to relate this to a friend over a beer, and the best analogy I could come up with was former Dr Whos. He looked at me like I had finally gone completely la la.

OK, my bad.

That's the spirit. Now go repeat that to your last 4 clients

My parents separated when I was quite young father and I had an argument when I was 10 about his psychotic bitch new wife. We did not speak again even at my birthday, then a few months later we got news that he had died of a heart attack, I was amazed as he always seemed so strong and full of life (probably a deluded 10 year old boy's view of his dad but I did not realise that at the time!).

That brought it home to me that you really should make sure each day is worth it. Hence I try to make the most of each day, I try to learn something new (currently listening to a long audio book about WW2) I try to get better at something (exercising, chess, anything). I try to ask my wife at least 5 different questions about her day. I try to do something with my children even if it is just bowling on the WII etc.

I was always on good terms with my dad but always too lazy and busy to go and see him. Finally I booked a flight from Switzerland, where I was, to Scotland, where he was, just to see him for the weekend. In the event I was able to use the same ticket to go to his funeral.

Think I'll get off here and look up flights to see my daughter.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

Age and mortality, my favourite subjects! Still, as long as I have the country to wander in, little bugs to look at and vodka it's not too bad. A large female bottom would be nice too.

I tried to tell you last week; visit Colombia. You'll like it.

Perhaps you get one now? Cosmetic surgery has come on in leaps and bounds.

Oh tulip. I have a big one tomorrow and I was feeling the years heavy upon me already until this thread.
