Time

A little post reading background music.........






Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way...

Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway...

It's been almost two weeks since my last posting. Where has the time gone? I wish that I could claim something interesting or exotic, like Eyjafjallajokul, has kept me from my blog.
But the truth is not so dramatic. I've been crazy busy with work (and play) and have been completely, utterly, resoundingly, mismanaging my time. 
Hence the post:
