Once upon a time, in my youth and ignorance, I actually enjoyed that scene. Now, it just reminds me of the carnage caused by private banks (e.g. Federal Reserve) and the cause of most major conflicts today.
:confused: May I ask how you connected between a wedding scene, private banking, and contemporary major conflicts?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

When I first moved to where I live now, my neighbours had 4 young children. As of yesterday, 3 of them are married with the youngest one in college. While I am very happy for Luke and Morgan (married yesterday), instead of seeing a 6' 4" man, in my minds eye I still see a young child with his sister putting ice cubes on their driveway to see which one melts first. As a child, I didn't believe people when they said time flies; now, it seems to be travelling faster than the speed of light.
There are lot of unexpected things about growing older, but what you describe is one of the most disconcerting. It gets even more so when you haven't seen the childhood friends of your kids since they were kids. On the other hand, my granddaughters are the light of my life.

To understand you would have to start with knowing who Paul Warburg and Bernard Baruch are, the history of the Federal Reserve and a few other 'tidbits' of similar information such as the magnitude of western debt and and the root causes of this debt. Then you would have to know who a few other names such as Kimberly Kagan and Frederick Kagan. Then you would have to know a bit of the history of propaganda in western societies. At that point my point would start to become clear. Cheers, Ian

I think that's one of the harder things about being a parent -- the constant readjustment needed when seeing you kid. From their perspective it must be weird too as they grow up and their perception of you as a parent changes.

It is even more dramatic being a grandfather seeing one set of kids every 6 months and the other once a year. It feels like one of those stop motion shows where someone has removed half the cards.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

In the (Broadway) musical there's a song that expresses this so beautifully: "Sunrise, Sunset"[^] Audio[^]
