Time

I experience Time differently than I used to. What's curious about this, a result of aging, is that it works both ways: time slows down in the short run and speeds up in the long run. On a day when I don't have much that I'm required to do, time can really drag. Then I can turn around and something that seems like it happened yesterday happened several years ago. Interesting phenomenon. I wonder how one might build this into narrative, slowing down the short run (without being boring) and speeding up the long run. Well, maybe that's what is done in that brilliant Coover short story in the NYer recently, Going For A Beer. Hmm.
