Where has the year gone???

It is, as I write, almost the 3rd of April... And I would like to report the beginning of the year officially LOST! It is considerably more LOST that those stranded Americans on TV... They keep on finding new people!

I would suspect that it is a function of rapidly approaching Old Age, except that even kids seem to notice it too! I can clearly remember that, as an early teenager, the first 8 months or so of the year dragged themselves across my life with the speed and enthusiasm of a valium drugged slug. But now, ever 10 year olds can be heard whining about how fast the year goes!

There are several possible explanations for this phenomena... Perhaps Time itself has speeded up? Perhaps our lives are now so busy, that even teenagers can't complain about being bored? Or perhaps, as technology gets faster, we all expect everything faster, and so speed our lives away? I don't know, but I am thinking of getting away to a cave in a mountain, where I can just sit and think about this stuff... Let's see what that does to the passage of time! (Like I'll ever get the time to do that!!!)
