Time dictates another new beginning

I just checked the date on the first entry of this blog - sept 15 2008 - ! That's almost 13 1/2 years ago. Several ideas and new starts have occured in that time. It was going to be Flash, then the red border visual serch meta-Nav. Having retired from my Post Secondary Instructional Associate Phase I feel another phrase weighing heavily upon my conciousness - 'End Game'. In the past there always seemed to be plenty of room/time (Spacetime?) to experiment. R and D being my natural resting place. To not put too fine a point on it - I age. With age memory degrades. Also physical abilities. And, perhaps most cruel of all, time itself seems to pass more quickly. A short, indulgant, story to illuminate the concept and then I'll let it go. I promise. In 1965 or so I remember being in Trout Creek Elementary School. I looked at the clock, 2:03, I looked outside through the expansive glass windows at the hills in the distance. An amazing place to hike and explore. Especially in the Summer when the world became a magical place, free of the interminable boredom of school. I concidered many exciting plans for next summer. The clock said 2:04, the second hand seemed frozen, moving so slowly. And now Breakfast bleeds so easily into Lunchtimeforafternoon snack oh why bother just get dinner. Another day over? Whatever happened to accomplishing something in less than a month? It's perception, not time itself. I must appear to be moving in slow motion. Now that time is Free it melts away like ice cream. How unfair that the currency of life isn't dealt out in the same denominations now that I am able to spend it as I will Daily.
