I made this choice recently to fly a couple hours and drive a couple hours to see my great aunt, and it warped my whole perspective of time. 

I spent 2 hours with great Aunt and reviewed her 98 years of life in 2 hours. 

Someday some kid will hear my entire 84 years in the space of 84 minutes. actually I could probably describe entire decades in seconds. 

 Wow. I wish my dad or grandad could do that. It seems like its only women that can talk in that fashion.
