• the long and short of it

  I've been thinking about the idea that "the days are long, but the years are short," and how we often become so focused on pushing through our daily routines that we don't notice that our lives are flying by.

  With some rounding inaccuracies:

  It's been fifteen years since I graduated from high school.

  It's been eleven years since I graduated from college.

  It's been ten years since I started law school.

  It's been nine years since 9/11.

  It's been eight years since I got out of the hospital, and since I got my dog.

  It's been seven years since I took the Bar Exam.

  It's been six years since I moved to Europe.

  It's been two years since I moved back.

  It's been 20 months since I got together with Superman.

  The days are long, but the years are short.
