Who The Heck Is Mrs. Williams?

I have been cutting through time like a chainsaw through butter, with little let-up in sight.


Actually, I am not sure that a total of nine days being quarantined in a semi-private hospital room really qualifies as a respite, but what can I say. At least it made me stop working for a while. '

All too often, we all find ourselves compressed for time and feeling as if the control of our lives is slipping through our weakening grips. Every now and then, this inescapable fact is bludgeoned into our conscious thoughts by some event, or chain of events, and gives us pause and prompts us to examine just why it is we are rushing headlong into...NOWHERE.

I have been cutting through time like a chainsaw through butter, with little let-up in sight. Even those inconvenient moments of rest (I believe they call it being hospitalized when I had pneumonia) didn't really slow me down much.

So it happens that I am in yet another dimly lit studio, cranking on a few dozen tracks that represent someone's artistically expressed, socially relevant, absolutely brilliant musical commentary on some topic of life-and-death importance, and I am letting the song play as I bounce everything down to a stereo mix. At five minutes and forty-one seconds, the song is gratuitously long, and I know I will end up editing it for radio play...if it ever gets that far.

While the tune is playing, it occurs to me that I have not checked my Myspace page in MONTHS! So I turn to my ever-present laptop and a few keystrokes later, I see my wraith-like mug pop up on-screen.

Hmm...new messages and comments! Ok. This could be fun.

A message from a colleague in New York, pointing out the benefits of yet another of his holistic health "discoveries" that is sure to cure what ails me. Ok...there is a lot that has ailed me of late, but since not one of his discoveries has ever helped, I am dubious of this one, too. Call me jaded...and I know he will be reading this.

Hmm...here is one from someone from back home.
