Well, it's not just you, but it is relative. For example, a child alive for one year versus a person alive for 20 years. For the child, the one year is 100% of its life. For the 20 year old, one year is actually only 5% of its life. Compare the 20 year old to a 40 year old, the 40 year old's one year is 2.5% of its life. As time goes on for each, time starts to "speed up" compared to the time already spent. What was a long time for a child becomes a short time as an adult. So, yes, time speeds up as we get older......

Public schools started their district play-offs this week. Next week will be regionals and then March 4th-5th State quarterfinals for the 5 different divisions take place at 6 different super sites. Then all the state semi's and finals (boys & girls) take place from March 8th-12th at the Seigel Center (VCU) in Richmond.

Our private schools start their conference play-offs next week and I believe the state tournaments conclude around March 5th.

AAU around here starts within the next month. I'll have "diva" availability for those games.

And I've already paid for my first camp in May.

Nope, Not Just You......

This season did seem to fly by for me too. This was my first season of doing a straight V schedule so I had far less games and days to do. Maybe that's part of it.

I do have about four more weeks of Wreck Ball, which takes me into mid-March. Then we have a Spring Boys Varsity Season which starts in mid-April that our Association uses for three-man training. Ball is pretty good. Then Summer Ball is followed by the Fall Girls Varsity Season and then HELLO Regular Season again.

I figure I'll get about 100 games in this yr and maybe have two-three weeks between seasons to re-charge my batteries.
