The last half of "The Naked God" - Peter Hamilton - and a collection of Zelazny short stories.

Which Zelazny collection are you reading?

I just started "The Neutronium Alchemist".

I swear that clock speeds up when I'm walking and slows down when I'm running.

Yours does that, too, huh? :)

Just as ole Albert Proudfeet Einstein predicted.

Thanks for the sip. I like that stuff. :-)

But, why not let me borrow the wheelbarrow? I'd let you come with it and push it around for me. I've got the herb bed I started working on in front of the house last year and I need to get some good dirt into it! Never got it done last year cause of Grama's illness. Truthfully don't know if I'll get it done this year due to work schedule... but I want to try.

When I was home this weekend everybody had gardens out already. AWwWW! Made me anxious to get out and work in my yard!

Ever notice that when you get in an elevator at the end of the day and make some comment to the other people in there to the effect that "Wow, that was a long day" or... "Wow, today really flew by really fast"... did you notice that they will -- almost without exception-- always agree with you???

I have a working theory that time is not a constant. It really does speed up and slow down.

LOL Yep, it's all relative. Here my cousin Minute, and my aunt Seconds, my grand nephew Centuries.

hehehe... well, it was worth a try! Would it help if I included an offer of back scratching? Maybe? And plenty of turkey? :-)

Time isn't relative. Relatives may visit but they do eventually leave. Time just hangs around forever. :-)

Excellent collection... it includes one of my favorite Zelazny shorts, "For a Breath I Tarry".

Have a good night!

Zelazny is brilliant. In particular I love his Chronicles nf Amber. Definitely, definitely read him.

Will definitely do that! Getting a lot of good additions to my reading list here--I love SF and fantasy so recommendations are always appreciated :)

Little behind on posts here 'cause I had to finish my workout and then when I got back I had an involved email I had to answer. Did I miss tea-time?--LOL! I'm about to go brew mine after I catch up on whatever posts I missed while I was out--anyone else drinking theirs yet?

But you gotta admit... a wheelbarrow with a disc brake is just about the coolest thing you ever saw... right?

I've always been of the opinion that whiskey should have a cork in it. Like wine, in a way... just say no to screw-tops... :-)

LOL!
