Try as you will, you get behind in the
race in spite of yourself. It is an
incessant strain to keep pace, and
still you lose ground. Science
empties its discoveries on you so
fast you stagger beneath them in
hopeless bewilderment. The political
world is news changing so rapidly
that you're out of breath trying to
keep pace with who's in and who's
out. Everything is high pressure
Human nature can't endure much

And while the world goes faster, I get older and slower. I shuffle
along frontwards, but I'm moving backwards. There's just too much on
the table at the top of the down escalator that I'm trying to go up.
It's literally soooooo unfair. At the end of the day going forward,
Somebody Should Do Something to change the calculus of the outrageous
extant metrics...........I think I'll take a nap and retriangulate
later after I've attempted to efficaciously ponder the significance of
the passage of time.
