A good friend of mine recently had a milestone birthday. To celebrate, he hosted a great weekend camping trip with a bunch of friends.

It was kind of surreal because many of us now have families of our own. It doesn't seem so long ago that we were the kids. But here we were -- parents. Time certainly has a way of creeping up on you.

During the camping trip I took a bunch of video and when I went to edit the raw footage I began looking for a light-hearted song about getting older for the soundtrack.

I found a ton of great ones, but settled on the song "Older" by the perpetually witty They Might Be Giants. It was a perfect fit for the video.

If you're throwing a party for a milestone birthday this is a great playlist to start with. 

And remember, you can't stop the clock, but you can control what you do with your time while you're here.
