Tomorrow is my birthday!

Early this afternoon as I was going to the local pizzaria to get a couple of piazzas, I had a sort of epiphany. I work in higher education and was walking through the campus. I've done this hundreds of times but today something was different. Perhaps it was the slight autumn chill but suddenly I thought to myself, "This was you 40 years ago"! I could see myself walking from hall to class along Ruff Lane in Ormskirk. Then I thought "Already 40 years, it seems like yesterday". In fact it isn't 40 years - ouff! It is only 38!! It makes all the difference, doesn't it? But life has passed by in a flash and there isn't much to go. That is all I thought, how quickly it all passes by and then there is ... nothing. So what am I going to do? Well really, I don't know but can I change?

I wish I could write like the last scene of American Beauty!
