Maybe it’s why the teen years are called “The Wonder Years” — so many firsts, so many milestones, life as adventure.
Then we get a bit older and get regimented into work and family and the exciting things we thought might be in our future become rather mundane.
The best times in my life were when I was young, when love, commitment and children were young. Still a feeling of adventure. Then, you get older and can afford more, but you still relish talking about your first car, your stereo set-up, the hot girls you knew in high school and sports you excelled in. Like Al Bundy reliving in his mind and heart his glory days at Polk High . . . But later as a shoe salesman, not so much.
