No.  No, it’s definitely not just me.  Time is speeding up!  It felt like, just the other day, I was lamenting the fact that we had passed the halfway mark of our stay in L.A. – and suddenly it’s five months later, I’m in Montreal visiting mom, and the new Stargate series has been cancelled (Amazingly, however, despite it being two months since the unannounced rug pull, Stargate continues to trend as irate fans continue to voice their displeasure).  My good friend, Alex, informed me that it simply seems like time speeds up as you get older because you fall into routine, but I don’t think that’s true.  As I said, our time in L.A. was over in a heartbeat and, increasingly, I feel like THREE in the time loop episode of Dark Matter where he finds himself in bed yet again thinking “How did I get back here?”.  IS it just me?

Meanwhile, over on X, they are changing the creator content rewards program.  It’s neither here nor there as far as I’m concerned, but I do feel bad for the smaller accounts struggling against an algorithm that seems to only reward the bigger accounts.  And, if I’m not wrong, they made the requirements for the “new and improved” creator rewards program even harder.

Easy peasy!

Two more days here in Montreal and then we are homeward-bound – to deal with home repairs.  CAN NO wait!

    You are so right and you speak so well, Joseph. Time gets speedier every day and the world is changing faster and faster in a way we couldn’t even imagine 10 years ago! ( I’m a O- negative, that qualifies me?😃😃😃)

  2. The time speeding up thing only gets worse as you get older, I’m afraid. It feels to me now like that scene from the H.G. Wells “Time Machine” movie, where the Sun is flipping through the sky so fast that it’s almost a blur. I’ve heard that it’s because each year of your life is a smaller and smaller proportion of your overall lifespan, so it * seems * shorter. Whatever it is, I don’t like it at all.

    I also recently read that they’ve determined that there are two times when your body ages quite dramatically faster over a couple of years. 44 and 60. I can definitely testify to the latter.

  3. “I feel like THREE in the time loop episode of Dark Matter ”

    Déjà vu . We were just watching that episode tonight!

  4. Shirley Jones once said that after school has finished, life goes by fast. I’m not sure why her quote stuck in my head but the quote is very true.

    Time goes on and the biggest markers are physical changes in our bodies. When I see an old friend for the first time in a while, I’m shocked on how much they’ve aged. Then it hits me how old we both are now.

    Ah well, that’s life! Not everyone makes it to our age. Here’s hoping we life long, pain free lives!

    Please say Hi to your family for us and I hope it’s a good trip. Also, I hope the work at your condo gets completed and it looks better than new when you go back home. 🤞🏻

    Happy Sharky Sunday! 👋🏻

      Shirley’s quote IS very true. And I agree about the bodily changes. Eat clean and make sure to exercise. Do you daily squats as that working those core muscles will prove crucial in your old age.

  5. Apparently, as each day is a lesser percentage of your overall life ( time ) experiences, it feels progressively less time, so perceived as time passing faster.
    So 1 day when you are 10 years old is 1 day in 3652 ( allowing for 2 leap years ) but at 50 it’s i day in 18262 allowing for 12 leap years.

    Or as time flies when you are having fun ( or busy ) maybe we just have a more fun and busy time as we age!

      Could it be that the closer you draw to the end of your life, the more rapid the passage of time? Could it be that it has less to do with age than your actual date of expiration?
