Feeling Old
Saturday, June 7, 2008 at 08:14PM Just came home from a graduation party. Arianna McMillan, Kamehameha Schools Class of 2008 graduate, was the guest of honor. Good kine grinds! Good local kine music! Backyard style with the tents and rented chairs and tables all set up nice. Just a chillaxin' time.
And den I start to think about my grad party. 22 years ago! 22 years!
Time flies so fast. I look to my left at Karisa, my daughter. Turn the other way to Eriko and say, "Four more years. Only four more and we're throwing Karisa's party."
My wife gives me this blank stare. It takes a while for that to sink in. And she feels like I do.
Old.
But not in a regretful, apprehensive type of way.
More instead of that aged, premium blending of grateful nostalgia swirled with calm anticipation. No better place to feel like that, to feel old, then one good kine grad party!
