A Lefty Writes

Has anyone seen the last 27 years? When did I become an adult? Sure, after college you're supposedly a grown-up, but no one in their early 20's has any right to feel very old.

Even 25 and 26 are still miles away from 30.

But 27... boy. In 3 years I'll be 30. I don't think I ever thought about 30 before. It always seemed very vague and distant. 30 is when people have spouses and real jobs. 30 is when people have children! 30 is when people know what they're doing with the rest of their lives.

Somehow most of those things seem to be farther than 3 years away.

But aside from all that, 27 is good so far. Aliza and I went to New York last weekend and this weekend I'll be getting together with some friends to eat, drink, and wallow over how old we are. (It'll probably be more fun than I made it sound just now.)

I have a pretty good sense about 2007/27. I think it's going to be a good year for me. Time will tell.
