The weekend after the first Long Itch meet in May sees #1 son reach his 18th birthday.

WTF did that go...?

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

It doesn't feel like the year 2000 was 18 years ago to me either. And yet it sounded like such a distant future in the early 90's. Anyone else had that feeling back then?

I remember thinking that in 2001 I'd be 40 and that I'd never get to that age. Mind ewe, at the time my hobbies included pot holing and sky diving (though not at the same time) so I think quite a few of my acquaintances had similar, if somewhat shorter timeframe, opinions. How  wish I was 40 again :)
