disconnect

I feel, much of the time, like I'm still a kid, or at least certainly not an adult, not a grown-up. This morning we were brunching (because this is something grown-ups do) with neighborhood friends at our favorite neighborhood spot.  We hadn't seen each other in a month or more, and there were lots of things to catch up about.  But there was a moment about halfway through the meal when I realized the topic had been health insurance, or doctors, or medical issues, for nearly half an hour. And I sat back in shock and just started laughing, much to everyone's consternation and eventual amusement.

When exactly did we get this old?
