Feeling the years

[meirwen_1988]

There's something scary about the fact that someone I could have dated in high school (age wise) has been confirmed by the Senate as the next Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

My distant relative John Marshall was the fourth chief justice. (Complete tangent, that.) He was 46 when he was appointed (which makes him younger than me--That's just plain depressing). Of course, if I was Mozart, I'd have been dead thirteen years at this point. I guess it's all how you look at it.

When I turned thirty and mused a bit to much a good friend of mine he said something to me that has kept my spirits high and will continue as I age.
"Now you will find out why you could not get a date when you were 18."

It migh seem like a trite responce but if you look there is depth. I like aging, some times if feels like a fine wine, other times a stinky cheese. one thing remains I have not been consumed yet. Die young and leave a good looking corpse was probably coined by some one who was not paying close attention.

You have students to torment, if ever there was an afirmation of a job well done and a life well lived it is in the ammount of whinning you can make happen as you bash the info into their young untested little piles of grey matter. Thinking hurts those who don't do it often. The more you make them bitch and complain, the more practice they get at thinking.
