   | I feel old... One of my students today asked: "Did you used to teach in Star Lake?" I said yes. (I've been here for 5 years now). "Do you remember my mother?You were her band teacher!" was his next question....he's in 5th grade. Yes, I kind of do remember his mother. Vaguely. This is the first time that's happened... |

| Glenn, at first I was just going to laugh at you, but then realized that I am in a similar situation. I was shocked when I came to the realization that people born in 1990 are now legally driving automobiles now. That's scary. |

 | Glenn, First time for everything eh?  I imagine that was different. I haven't had that happen quite in that context. I did have one of my niece's friends say to me, "hey didn't you go to school with my mom?" Egads.... I can sympathize!  Kinda like the first time I heard Def Leppard referred to as "Classic Rock" I thought man I cut my teeth on that stuff... Holy cow! |

| You know this thread reminds me of a funny story..... about 6 years ago while I was still able to play hockey and was back home in motown me and my teamates went out for a few beers after a very hard faught game. We happend to go into this bar on College night; mostly 18 year olds or about that age range. I started laughing so hard I thought I was going to die. My cousin looked at me and said, "John what's so funny?" I looked at him and said, "You know how you guys are always running around saying to girls who's your daddy?" He replied Yes. I said, "Well, were so old now these girls will be looking at us going are you my daddy?" Mind you at the time I was 30 and he was 32 our teamates were all around that general age range..... Ah yes; we're old in deed!  |

| And it doesn't get any better. I remember way back when I started teaching privately some of my high school students looked pretty hot. The girls, that is. Then at a certain point I remember the moms started looking hotter than the daughters. When the grandmothers start looking hot to me, I'll know it's time to retire! Michael McLaughlin |
