Goodbye to 2015

It is hard to believe that this is my last blog for 2015. This year really flew by.


Does anyone else find that as you get older the years go more quickly? When I was young, I remember vividly how September felt. At the beginning of each school year it was nearly impossible to imagine that June was just around the corner. It always was. As time flies by now, September and June seem awfully close together.


I came to the conclusion recently that summer days are longer on purpose to give you the illusion that they last longer. I’m not even sure it is an illusion. I know that I get more done on a long summer day, inspired by daylight. Winter days are so much harder to trudge through when it is dark before 5.


Well, I hope you are all enjoying a long relaxing week getting ready to welcome in a new year.


Looking forward to a great 2016 with all of my Gotham family and friends!

Agreed, each year seems to fly by faster than the one before. However, I'm not sure it's because we are older, I believe it's because we are doing a lot in and with our lives. Typically, my calendar is filled with things to do and people to see. The phrase "Time flies when you're having fun." comes to mind.

I'm looking forward to a great 2016 as well. Let's pack it with so much success and fun it flies by faster than 2015 did!

Kant's theory of relativity was that from 5 to 10, 10 to 20, 20 to 40 and 40 to 80 all feel the same.

Nance, you ask: Does anyone else find that as you get older the years go more quickly? You know when I first felt REALLY old? When my twin kids came to me and said: "Dad, do you remember that you'd told us when we were kids that time seems to pass more quickly as you get older? Well, that's totally true -- we're seeing that!"

In youth, Summer felt long and savored. Now almost a blip. Not sure the year flew by but I look to a different timetable and it still seems a bit away; not in a rush per se but new set of options become considerations. The only thing I did not realize until reflection was a dearth of a certain fave activity, August through November. It surprised me when I realized it.
