That was probably the first time I really realized just how much time had passed. I began to play Stills' "4+20" thinking, hey, this guy wrote and sung this song when he was 24 years old, singing the line "a quarter of my life is almost past." Now, more like three quarters. How time do fly.

Memories of a John Sebastian song along the same lines ...

And now, a quarter of my life is almost past,
I think I've come to see myself at last,
And I see that the time I spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you've dawlded
For the great relief of having you to talk to.
