So to catch up and all:
In the year 1990 my youngest (then seven) asked if we would have a party when it was a new century (she had heard something about a new century coming up). When I told her that it would be a new year at the same time, and even a new millennium, but we wouldnāt likely have any more money for the celebration than in any other year, she asked, "if we put a dollar away each week will we have enough?".
My wife and I opened an account with five dollars a week direct deposit that week. The plan was to have a party on December 31st 2000, never occurred to us to have it on December 31st 1999 as that wasnāt the start of either the new century or the new millennium.
The first year AD was year one (no year zero) therefore the hundredth year AD was year 101. Because I was surprised to see so many people saying that year 2000 would be a new millennium when Y2K came close I did some research at that time and found that the dominant theory was that our current society was raised using odometers and similar digital counters and were attuned to thinking in terms of numbers starting from 0 and turning over when columns were full.
Our local newspaper published a special section about the upcoming new century in 2000 and commented about how they had looked at the 1899 edition and were surprised to see almost no mention of the coming new century. They even published a copy of the A section of that paper. An op-ed in that section actually commented on the surprising fact that a few people were ignorant enough that they didnāt realize the next century didnāt start until 1901.
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
Thereās nothing Nietzsche couldnāt teach ya
'bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
And Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when heās pissed
But younger than my wife.

I did see that, but the original reference reminded me of the (owl not falcon I admit) from that old movie. 
At my eldest daughterās fiftieth birthday party I told her not to think of it as fifty years, but as half a century.

So your youngest is ~ my age.
Iām starting to feel young here. 
Which isnāt the point, but it makes me feel better about the passing of years.
Whippersnapper.
I wrenched my gut taking my jacket off in my car this morning. Granted, thatās probably due to being in shape (roundās a shape, right?) more than anything else, but still.

Ten years ago I was teaching overseas. It remains the most fulfilling time of my life ever. Thereās nothing quite like seeing a young beingās face light up with understanding, though in every case, Iām sure they wouldāve reached it on their own. I was just part of the adventure.
I also started reading this forum in that timeframe. Orylia is the sole reason why I started paying attention to this place. Maybe one day Iāll spell her name correctly. <.<
I started using a Mac that year. I was really sick of my Dellās inability to display purple, and wanted the most portable laptop with the best display I could find on the market. I figured Iād give OSX a fair shake and see if I still liked it a few months later.
I missed the Olympics, for which I never wouldāve travelled. Instead, it came to me, but I wasnāt home.
