I am getting old.

First off I want to head off the nasty comments that I will be getting from those of you who are a little more 'seasoned' than I when you read this post....please bear with me and you will understand.

For the last 10 years or so of my life, I have tried to pretend that I am still 22, young, hip, and all those other words that don't mean getting old. But over the last few weeks, I have realized that I am living in a dream world. For example....I was driving home from work and was getting annoyed with the 'music' that was being played on my usual radio station, so I found myself changing it to....I used to make fun of my mom for listening to KSL. and where was I?...sitting in my car doing the same thing.

Then tonight...Sean and I were in our bedroom, watching a Saturday Night Live program on Chris Farley. Our kids and one of their friends came in and wanted to know who he was and what we were watching. I realized that he had died before all but one of them were born. I think the best comment was from my son's friend. They were playing the skit from SNL with Michael Jordan. If you have not seen it...you have to look it up on YouTube, and just hear in your mind...when Michael Jordan walks onto the stage...."Michael Jordan is not black." WHAT?!?!?!? Here we were the only ones who were around when Michael Jordan was playing basketball. Sean and I almost fell off the bed laughing.

Yes...I am getting old.
