Another school year begins.

The roads fill with new drivers who managed to reach the right age over the summer break (without being severly disabled by their frustrated parents).

I often find myself wondering what our children will remember of their informative years and ponder the question of my own mind in order to think like a 15 year old one more time. The answer is not that clear - the world has changed quite a bit in 30 odd years.

Surely things were easier back then? There was no Facebook, Myspace, eBay or Google to wrestle with. We had to make our own fun - right!(?).

I wondered about that some more today as my 15 year old daughter departed the driver’s side exit and gave me a kiss on the cheek “cya Dad.”

Where did the time go. A freshman in high school, a driver, a daughter - where did my little baby go?

Another school year is upon us, and whilst there are many things I do not know, the one thing that strikes me like the midnight ring in a deserted town square - it will be gone as quickly as it arrived.

Enjoy the moment.
