What time is it? You got the time?Is it that time? Is this a good time or what?
Maybe next time.
Just killing time.*
Miller time.
Your time. My time. Company time.
Keeping time.
Any time.
In California, over Thanksgiving, every time my son would see a clock, he'd say "Papa!"
We couldn't figure out why. My wife swears she doesn't point at the clock and say papa when I'm not around.
The concept of time is pretty much central to our understanding of everything. That whole Theory of Relativity thing not withstanding, I don't think anyone can really conceive of anything outside of time. I mean really conceive of anything outside of time.
It makes it all the more spectacular when time slows down, seems to stands still or disappears altogether.
Perhaps that is the secret to a certain kind of life.
Practicing the art of stopping time.
Nurturing the things that allow your brain to treat time as something to ignore.
I don't know if anything has ever been so important.
Of course to get there, one has to go through that, from here.
No easy task. But easy enough.

I knew a man who wore two watches. I asked him why he wore two watches and he said 'because time is important.'
There is evidence that time--our seconds and minutes--are not uniform. And I wonder if we're aware of it in an abstract way.
This post almost seems like bait for Danny Bloomberg. I'll be watching the comments carefully.
kevin is posting as giancarlo . . . what a coup!!!
Oh man, I have been trying to bait Danny in the last few comments I've left else where. I just gotta get back at him for out-dueling me in the causality debate. I'll still put it down to Robinson's distracting me.
"time, as a matter of fact, is gone and it's never coming back. and my...it's wasted all the time."

Ever notice how when you rush you're always late and when you "take your time" you're always "right on time"?
put that in your collective, proverbial pipes and then smoke it.
