If the
antics of Sherman and Peabody, who were owners of a "way-back
machine," were
any indication, time has a way
of being fluid.
Einstein,
one of the smartest guys I know of, believed there was a "space-time
continuum" (or is that Sheldon, from the "Big Bang Theory") (or
both?) in that time is like a river, flowing in eddies and currents, traveling
sometimes backwards, forwards, stopping, and starting, slowly and quickly, but
not always in the same direction, or the
same
speed.
H.G.Wells
wrote his amazing book of touring through time around the same period that Jules Verne envisioned a time
of fantastic travel.
Avast! I
say, Avast! My time ship beckoned and I apparently boarded.
Of
course, I did have a multitude of activities which kept me busy during those
extremely hot days of summer.
A visit from my mother-in-law and her friend
in June, with wonderful day trips into the Rocky Mountains, including Rocky
Mountain National Park:
A three-day trip to
Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park in July:
And
August! So much was done in August, the most time consuming one being the
packing up and moving from my lovely downtown loft to a two-story town home in
the suburbs.
The Loft...
The Town home...
September?
Ah, those warm days of September, when we visited the humane shelter and
adopted a one-year-old, purebred black Labrador Retriever. (Getting to know him
these past several weeks, however, has made me seriously pondering if he isn't
really crossed
with a sloth...but that is another story...)
Now that
things seem to have settled down quite a bit (other than a contentious
presidential race) I am planning to devote more time to reading my list of
lovely blogs again, and posting!
But who knows? December 2012 is just around the corner...
