Holidays don’t have enough hours
Einstein, of course, had it right. Time is relative. Anyone who remembers how slowly summer days could pass when you were 10 and how quickly the deadline could pass until your next homework assignment was due knows that.
Book, photos sparked memories

With yet another birthday on my horizon, it seems as if this might be a good time to admit some of my failings.
