Another Month Gone - Already?

How can it be? It's September, 2006 already! Time flying by at a more rapid pace as one grows older must have something to do with Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

I propose that we inhabit some sort of personal space ship, and that as we grow older those space ships accelerate faster and faster toward the speed of light. At mid-century status we feel as though time has sped up, while the youngsters around us feel time drags by.

Remember how it was when you were ten? Christmas couldn't come around quickly enough. Now, as a person having reached double nickels, it feels as though there is never enough time to do everything. We moan and groan at the thought of having to wade through all those shoppers getting ready for Christmas and make elaborate plans to complete all our shopping prior to Thanksgiving. But we won't make it; we never do.

Crafters out there better get busy. You do realize that as of today you have three months and three weeks, that's 116 days for you who are counting days already, left until Christmas. You'd better get into high gear in order to finish all those projects you'll need to have done by December 25.

Well, Wal-Mart hasn't put out the Christmas displays yet. At least they hadn't as of two days ago. But look out - they should appear any moment now.
