Something is happening today and I’m not very happy about it. In fact, I take great offense to it. Something needs to be done about it but in all honesty, I don’t have a clue at how to fix it. And I fear that it is going to get worse and worse as days go by. It really should not bother me, but the fact that I am blogging about it betrays that it does.

What can this great evil be? Simple – when today, June 30^th, is through, 2009 will be half gone. If I’m not mistaken, 2009 just started . . . like . . . yesterday. (Pardon the adolescent vocabulary.) As a matter of fact, 2008 doesn’t sound that old, and 2005 just barely passed. Wasn’t just "yesterday" that we were worried about Y2K? And now the last year with two zeroes next to each other (at least until the year 3000 comes, if it does) is half over already.

I’m quite mystified how this is happening so fast. I’d like to fix it if I could – at least slow it down so that it’s manageable. But I’m quite sure that’s lost cause. As a student of the Scriptures, I’m quite aware that it addresses the phenomena:

So I’m not surprised. But I’d sure like to do something about it. Maybe if I lost some weight - nope, that would probably speed things up . . . maybe if I only walked against the earth’s rotation . . . maybe if I spent my winters in South America and my summers in Kenosha . . . maybe if I sold my car and only drove my Harley (time seems to slow down when I’m on my Sportster) . . . maybe if I only did incredibly boring things . . . maybe if I really did chew my food 20 times before swallowing . . . maybe if I only watched the Home Shopping Network – nope, I’d rather speed things up . . . maybe if I’d listen to a Joe Bidden speech every day . . .

It’s probably no use. Time will continue to fly by. Good thing I’ve got eternity covered.
