I'm vacationing with my parents this year. Dad's mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. His short term memory isn't very good anymore, and he's behind the curve on the technology side of things.
It's so weird to think that when I took my first baby steps with a computer, he was 38 and I was 8. I am now 35 and he is 65. I'm almost as old as he was then, and to be honest, he seemed much more grown up than I feel now.
In a sense he *was* further along. He was married and had children and I don't.
2) In addition to having a wife and two kids, he also owned a house (with said wife) and a car. I'm basically his age now, and I don't possess any of these things. I had expected to have these things at this age, but things didn't work out the way I had imagined. As it turns out, I'm an odd fellow.
