My son just celebrated his eighth birthday. While he was eating his birthday breakfast before heading to school, he came out with this gem:
"I’m half of sixteen today!"
Now part of me is happy that he’s thinking of mathematical relationships at the breakfast table. But another part of me is thinking how I am so incredibly not yet ready for sixteen. These first eight years have gone by so quickly, I can’t begin to imagine how quickly the next will fly.
So the next time you’re wondering if the glass is half empty or half full, just be glad that it isn’t half of sixteen…

My name is Matthew Roche, and I am a Senior Program Manager with the SQL Server product group at Microsoft. I work on Master Data Services and Data Quality Services, and have previously worked on SQL Server Integration Services.
Although I work for Microsoft and will be posting on technical topics, I want to stress that this is a personal blog, and any opinions posted here are mine and mine alone. I built my career around SQL Server and Microsoft technologies for well over a decade before I joined Microsoft as an employee, and I plan on using this blog to share my personal experience and opinions. They may well be shaped by my experience on the SQL Server team, but they’re still mine, and not that of Microsoft, disclaimer, disclaimer, etc., etc..
I’m right there with you. My oldest is 8, and I am definitely not ready for her to be 16. Time goes by way too fast.
