Time Travel

[2LZ]

I got up this morning and there was this fat, old man staring at me in the mirror.
Where the hell did all the time go, so quickly?

 

[BSA Biker]

I know the feeling.
Photos of me with my daughter back in about 1981 camping in Cheddar Gorge, and yesterday with my little friend Edgar at the Interclub annual dinner/prize giving afterwards with his mother, Veronica our La Presedenta and the club secretary, my friend Ernesto.
I used to have a mop of red hair back then.

It's my Dad looking at me from my mirror... wherenell'd I go?

 

[BSA Biker]

Topol sung Sunrise, Sunset in Fidler on the Roof which at the time I never thought would happen to me, oh how wrong I was.

That happens to me, it's a psychic experience I'm sure. Cue twilight zone theme.

Getting old is a privilege many don't live to attain .

 

[StefArmstg]

It helps if you never had kids. Indisputable evidence of the passage of time. And mirrors... I avoid visual confirmation. Body aches are sufficient.

 

[DaddyJack]

Well, this is the oldest I've ever been. But it's also the youngest I'll ever be. So, I'm going to ride my motorcycle...if I can find the key.

As with every summer solstice, my ageometer just ticked over another year.

I just hope it keeps happening like that, the other options do not currently sound appealing.

Agreed....but did it have to happen at light speed????

Yesterday came suddenly !

You just have to keep perspective.



The bike dates back to 1980. 45 is a pretty ripe old age for a motorcycle (outside a museum, at least). The rider dates back to 1954. 71 is of course the "three score and ten" that's marked "definitely out of warranty" for thousands of years. The building in the background is from 1872 (according to the sign over the door). 153 is pretty good for a wood-frame building (though the Pantheon in Rome laughs at such short-lived structures).

We're all doing pretty good for our age, I think.

Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your kids.

Yep, it's a funny - and sad thing - isn't it? My dad - God rest him - has been gone 7 1/2 years now, but he lived to the ripe old age of 92. I hope I inherited a lot of his genes - lol! When I was a kid, I had "delusions of grandeur" that I was going to be the first human being in history to live a thousand years. How childishly naive and ironic! The illusions were nice while they lasted though.

Yes. when you're young, you're not thinking of aging. just enjoying life with no worries. But once you settle down and have a family, you carry on the traditions of all your forefathers and mothers. Be happy that you can still enjoy your passion.
