Let's Lighten It Up a Little

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.-Groucho Marx

I love all the variants to "old saws" about time.

• Time flies when you're having fun.
• Time's fun when you're having flies. (Frog Version)
• If time flies when you're having fun, it hits the afterburners when you don't think you're having enough. Jef Mallett,
• So little time and so little to do.-Oscar Levant
• You can fool too many of the people too much of the time. James Thurber (1894 - 1961), New Yorker, Apr. 29, 1939 "The Owl who was God"
• A stitch in time would have confused Einstein. Unknown.
• Now is the time for all good men to come to. Walt Kelly (1913 - 1973), "Pogo"
• Let not the sands of time get in your lunch. National Lampoon, "Deteriorata"
• Most of the time I don't have much fun. The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all. Woody Allen (1935 - )
• Never try to tell everything you know. It may take too short a time. Norman Ford
• In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these. Paul Harvey

• The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

I stopped for a minute to go to the store. When I got in the car and turned on the radio I heard:

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

For those of you not listening to rock in the 70's these lyrics are from "Fly Like an Eagle" by the Steve Miller Band (1977).

We all get the same 24 hours a day. Try to make yours count. I'll try if you'll try.

Also from the song...

Feed the babies
Who don't have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, oh, there's a solution

Now THAT is a great way to spend some time. Check out this organization, Talitha Koum Institute that cares for our poorest and most vulnerable citizens in Central Texas.
