Om the way back from Bisbee, I swung by and visited one of my Brothers that I served with. I'd last seen him before I moved out here, at a Further concert a lot of my friends had come in for. He mentioned his daughter is getting married in September and I commented that she seemed pretty young. He replied she was 23. I was stunned. Last time I saw her she was starting high school. I looked up the concert and it was from September 2009. Incredible. We hadn't seen each other in almost ten years yet it felt like months, not years. I'm living here almost three years and I still have boxes I haven't unpacked.

The older you get the more time seems
to speed up. Here's a very interesting
article about it.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/clear-organized-and-motivated/201603/why-is-time-passing-so-quickly-these-days


I was bored as a kid, a lot. So time crept by.
I always wanted to be doing anything other
than what I was doing. As I got older, an
adult, I learned how to stay not bored, As a
result, time sped up, instead of an abundance
of time because I was bored, I never have any
time now. And since the internet came along,
I'm never bored for even a minute. Time now
flies by.

I'll sleep when I'm dead.
