Musings & Thoughts for Wednesday, March 29, 2023, or: A Quick Hump Day Post

Time Flies, Even When You’re Not Having (Much) Fun

It’s late morning here in Lithia, Florida, on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, and, as I write this, I’m marveling at how fast this month has “flown.”

It seems that not so long ago I was writing about past – and happier – birthday celebrations as my 60^th birthday loomed on the horizon. Well, March 5 came and went, mostly in a dull, somewhat subdued fashion, and now it seems as though several months have passed since then. I guess the old saw about how humans perceive time – “The years fly faster as we age!” – has some truth to it.

Or, as I am so fond of saying, “Tempus fugit.”

I do need to get some reading done during the day, so I’m just going to do one of those “quick and easy” favorite things list-style posts and then get on with my writer’s workday stuff.
