Time

The older I get, the more I'm struck by how long things stick around. There are books/tapes/records I've had for 25-30 years. Last night I realized I've had the same desk for 11 years. I've used the same towel every day since 1998. And just now I realized that I'm coming up on a whole year of using the same staple remover. I'm not saying I'm gonna bake it a cake and buy it a lap dance, but still.
