on time ..
Meaningful Monday
(inspired by my buddy Spider)
-
seems like time is slipping away more quickly these days ... the older I get.
-
Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset,
two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes.
No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.
(Horace Mann)
-
The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life,
the clearer we should see through it.

Sunday, much like the day before, was uneventful for my sons and I. What I mean to say is we hardly left the Condo, basically hanging out, eating, watching TV and playing Video games. We intended to go see the new Van Wilder, but when the time came to leave they decided it would be better to catch it this coming Saturday (they were very much into what they were doing at the moment and didn't want to pack up and go just yet).(inspired by my buddy Spider)

Yesterday evening I spent listing (on Ebay) 58 of these delightful (gag) little "treasures" for my mother. She's decided to liquidate her collection as she begins the overwhelming process of downsizing in order to sell her primary home here in Massachusetts and remove permanently into her two places (alternatively depending on the season) in Florida and Rhode Island. My condo is about to become overloaded I suspect, there are just some things you can't dispose of.

This one typically sells for over $100.---

Given the nature of many early immigrants it is no wonder the Island became riddled with prisons right from the start. They were a motley group for sure. The Author details many cases of Murder, Rape (both hetero & homosexual) the brutal anniliation of thousands of native Aboriginies and in gruesome detail, horrifying accounts of cannibalism. It is a very disturbing testament to what happens when you remove every trace of civility and reduce man to his most primal urges and behavior. Pick this one up if you get the chance, it may keep you up nights, but as a reviewer from The Los Angeles Times reports:
"One of the greatest non-fiction books I've ever read ... Hughes brings us an entire world"

I know what you mean by the swift passage of time. And it seems to go faster the older I get. Remember this when you have time with your sons. enjoy those moments to the utmost. You will turn around and they will be as old as you!
I pick #1...like the longer hair.
the clearer we should see through it." - how true this is...
And I am pleased and honored that something on my blog would inspire you... that gives me a big warm fuzzy feeling...
and I have to vote for #4...
Sadly, the group as a whole is not as good as usual.
Your mom has 3 houses?! I hope you charge a handling fee for listing all those little do-dads. ;)
steve: Just hanging out around the house is relaxing for a change.
spider: I love that quote myself, and it is very true.
I'm glad you got a warm fuzzy feeling, you are one special guy my friend!!
Mark: Excellent choice! :)
patti: faster and faster for me these days.
ryan: I know what you mean, but essentially it is an entire college in Iran, so there will be often weeks like this. The fact that they do not smile certainly doesn't help!
polt: I know Polty, read what I said to Ryan. :)
doug: Yes she does, but it will soon be down to 2. Her father passed away about 10 years ago and left her a considerable amount of money, she retired instantly and has certainly been enjoying life since. It also helps that she and my step-father have always owned their own successful businesses.
I'm sure Mom will give me something should they sell.
:)
Happy Monday!
Hope you have a great week!! Love that photo of the hallway too!
This week is a little difficult, as they're all kind of cute. I'd have to go with #4, though. He looks like the "sensitive" type.
And Sister Marie Elephant scares me!
