And I have to say -- the gulf between 24 and [almost] 36 has never felt broader!
Here are some interesting moments over the past two weeks. Remember, these are all individuals who are supposed to be my "peers":
- "September 11th? Oh, I was in 5th grade when that happened" ("Um.... I was already married...")
- Somehow the movie Forrest Gump was mentioned. One of the other guys implied that it was a really old movie, the kind you only see on cable channel replays and such. Then again, he was 3 when it came out.
- Realizing that at least 2 of my peers we not alive for a single day during the 80's...
- Cell phones, cell phones, cell phones!
(a) They simply can not be put down.
(b) I am the only person in my class who does not have a web-enabled phone.
- Partying and "going out" on weeknights are still things. ("Sorry guys, I've got a big evening of playing Ocarina of Time with my boys and going to bed on time planned.")
I'm sure there will be more over the next 4 weeks, I'll try to keep updating!
