Will we ever stop updating our resume?

Next week I will be talking to DePaul students on going out in the design world. Which has forced me to examine some of my own design tools. One being my resume. I'm a huge proponent of walking the walk, so this week I've decided to update my resume. How do I sum up the past 17 years of my life on one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper? After doing research, I found that it's recommended. No fancy designs, don't turn it horizontally. But as a designer, our resume is a visual tool that also represents the kind of work that we do. Which is probably why I find it challenging. My goal-to have it finished this weekend. But when I've been doing this for 25+ years, I'm going to go to two pages.
