I think time successfully evaporated this past week, I can't believe it has bean a full week since my last confession.. I mean entry. a lot happened and not much happened, I have completed my second day of vacation due to if I didn't I would lose it, and it has bean very good for me, I have gotten alot of projects done around the house, well, not that many, the Matrix game keeps interfering, but I have gotten alot done, little projects that ahve bean bothering me for a while. I trimmed a door that wouldn't close, I oiled some stuff and I changed the oil in my lawn mower and snow blower. I also managed to trim a bolt that was sticking out of my wall.. a long story. I was a bit dissapointed in the person who assisted me at my favorite hardware store, woodys hardware in Plymouth, that is the kind of Mom and Pop Hardware store that I feel is missing on the american landscape. where you can go in and discuss your project and get some ideas of how to approach it that you might not have thought of. Don't get me wrong, the person who assisted me did fine, just not willing to play the game of hmmm... what are you trying to do? See, I don't know the hardware language, I didn't know it was fogging oil, I thought it was smoke oil.. oops, guess I was thinking of the stuff that goes in foggers.. now you see where I got confused. (Jack, you may be the only one to understand that one) Anyway, another reason my time has bean fleating is my thought have bean with Jack who has had a rough week, I won't say anything, if he wishes to share, you can visit his site, but things are looking better tonight. My prayers are with you my friend. Anyway, now that I have said all that, I suppose I should get to stats, the real reason any of you read my site.. I knew it was important when going to a friends for dinner I heard the comment, We were wondering what you might want to eat, so we looked at your website. Guess there is value in my banter.

Posted by bilzabub at May 30, 2003 12:25 AMI have been over to read this post a couple of times in the last 2 days. First, thanks for the thoughts and the support, they were much needed and appreciated.... more than you know.
I have been back a couple of times because I am drawn to the title of your post..Evaporating Time.
Boy, does that phrase hit home with me these days.
If this last week has done anything for me I think it has made me more aware of the vagarious nature of life. I actually think this is a good thing. We become too complacent and too accepting of the way things are, and it seems to be in our very nature to expect them to contine that way forever.
I have always tried to be someone who doesn't just accept things as they are but sees that there are avenues for improvement and change in everything...Today I am more aware that I have not always done this very well.
This last week has made me aware that time CAN evaporate. We can lose sight of the joys of our existence through the trees of comlpacency, repetition and banked passions.
This week has also reminded me of the importance of never letting that happen.
Thanks for the reminder, and (as always) for your friendship.
