Realizing I am getting old
it is not just that I tire so much more easily. Heck, I should not expect to be able to push myself as I did as a college student, a status I held until age 27. Or even as a doctoral student while teaching full0time - that we true through the early years of the last decade.
There are several things that confront me with my aging. The first is that 30 days from today I will turn 65. The inexorable approach to that momentous birthday cannot be avoided, and I expect I will somehow find time to reflect a bit more as the date approaches.
It was also what I did this evening. I went to a recital. Of a graduating senior from University of Maryland. I was invited by Facebook. By the student. Whom I taught as a 10th grader, then had as the lead in our musical production of Seussical.
I saw her, and I saw other students. And realized how quickly time has gone by.
