Time is funny thing...

Today, some of the gracious members of this forum gave us some great picture taking tips. While trying some new pictures, it got me to thinking. I bought my Rolex new in January 2000, to celebrate the birth of our first child. Matt was born in December 1999, which is kind of cool in itself - the last month of the last year in the last decade of the last century. I was 41 years old (late bloomer, had a hard time giving up my batchelorhood!). My GMT II was made the year he was born, and it will be his someday. They're both 20 years old, and he's a junior in college. The watch just had it's first ever factory service and looks almost new again. If I wait another 20 years, he'll be 40, I'll be 82 (God willing). Will I be a grandpa? Will I still be skiing? Riding my dirt bike? Drinking too much beer? I guess only time will tell...
