Nine clocks in our tiny space of our just enough home, not ...


…wrist watches and each one of ours, clocks that is, appear to be in a different time zone! But just by a few minutes. And for two people to adjust all of them to be in sync we would have to be able to perform the thirty second mile! Now that explains why I have also seen this unique phenomena in clock shops, well now that explains it and I suppose this also proves that it is not that unique, hmm? Observations are something to do to pass the time, allow me this pun. We all know that at times, shutting up and just looking around, again, sorry, can be quite rewarding in the respect of attaining information. Columbo and Holmes come to mind with their deductive reasoning skills of fine tuned ability to scrutinize a situation. Miraculous and actually not too bad a hobby that is if no one is alarmed at the stare you may be doing in their direction. And so that is why wearing shades, eye shields, oh, you know them better as sunglasses! A simple way to become incognito and not thought of as being weird, although if you have transitions... Be very cautious since as you should realize… the dark tint lightens up when indoors! Quite embarrassing, even I forget sometimes when we are in a waiting room! As a young woman working for Lord and Taylor’s in Ridgewood NJ, I would read or eat lunch out in the mall of the Fashion Center and observe the people as they would walk by. I was fascinated with who they might be in respect to their lives, that is what professions or ideas of why they would dress as they would and would that tell me more about them, their socio-economic status, and relationships and how and where they would live? Nah, that’s a bunch of bunk, in those days forty years ago I was more than likely checking out their choice of wardrobe since that was my niche then. Although, I do recall wondering a bit more about them as human beings on this planet, but to be honest not in those exact terms. You see, I was just getting back into reading for fun, not for school I don’t think that I was that concerned with getting into peoples’ psyches so much until years later when I would have to in order to write legit dialogue. Critiquing people then was not beyond my ken and that’s when we were just newlyweds, ha! Like my play on words. Examining your surrounding is not such a bad idea, and any city dweller will tell you to make sure that you are always aware of them. And yes, I do recall that from being a young woman commuting into NYC to go to college daily via bus, and subway stations. It kept me safe. And people were amazing to watch, especially those colorful city folks back in the late 1960’s. In closing all I want all of you to do is not get weird-ed out, but check out people the next time you go somewhere and have to wait, indoors or out… those return lines probably would a start. And who knows you might find out something new about human nature or even yourself. On that note of I hope some note, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count your blessings and share all your overages with the Sandys and others of your choosing and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?! And tell the Washington GOOD OLE BOYS to get off their DAMN BUTTS AND FIX THE FISCAL CLIFF SITUATION or WE WILL TAKE THEIR FAT CAT SALARIES TO USE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN WE FALL OFF!
