Suddenly, Fifteen Years Later

As I've mentioned a few times before, I'm not eighteen, and haven't been eighteen for fifteen years or so. It's been most apparent this week. I just did the California to Florida to Michigan to Springfield to California run. D'oh. No, I'm not giving up. I'm just exhausted, that's all. I think I've been working for so long and so consistently that I sometimes forget that I'm not indestructible. It's starting to get cold again. I just noticed that it was near freezing temperatures in Detroit. Of course it should have been. After all, it was late September. I mean, what was I thinking? No jacket, no long-sleeved shirts for what little leisure time we have after work. Time seems to be passing at a different rate these days. I guess that just goes with the territory. For now, I have my retirement plan in motion. It also involves the retirement of my new sidekick, Demo Duck. Don't ask. Anyhow, here's to the next fifteen years. See ya.
