Does it seem like at this point we start sliding down hill very fast to the END OF THE YEAR... Maybe it started at Halloween, in October, but now... heading into the major holidays.. right to the New Year.
Does it seem like the time slides by quicker this time of year?

(34,189 posts)The impression that it only goes faster at the end of the year is deceptive - it's just a foreshadowing of the increasing rate of passage as you get old.
I wish I could find that formula - it was posted decades ago on a CompuServe forum.

I think that's been the most difficult part about aging for me.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
