Parsley Sage Rosemary and

And time waits for no one, and it won’t wait for me

Mick Jagger

I ran an 11 minute mile yesterday

Do you remember that time when you saw Jaws?. I never have.

The first sentence I learned in German was Wie viel Uhr ist est.

I believe it literally means how many hours or what time is it?

The Portland soccer team scored the tying goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time.

In Japan train schedules are precise to the second.

In Mexico if a picnic is supposed to be at two, it’ll be sometime in the afternoon.

Once again, I got up way too early today because we changed the clocks back.

When I first qualified for the Boston Marathon, I qualified by a mere 30 seconds. So I thought, but they adjusted my time because of a delay at the start.

My Racquetball game today is at 6 o’clock

When I do a boring chore, I set a clock for 10 minutes, usually I endure that

I need more time to answer this question

Do I need time?

No

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

    This is a wonderfully reflective collection of thoughts on time! I truly appreciate how you’ve woven personal experiences, cultural observations, and philosophical reflections together. From the precision of Japanese trains to the relaxed timing of a Mexican picnic, and from running an 11-minute mile to the fleeting seconds that qualified you for the Boston Marathon, you capture the fluid, elusive, and deeply human nature of time.

    Your writing reminds us how time is both a measure and a feeling — something we chase, manage, celebrate, and sometimes take for granted. The mix of humor, introspection, and real-life anecdotes makes it relatable and thought-provoking. I particularly love the way you end with the line: “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” It ties everything together perfectly and leaves a lingering reflection

    I think I could write a 300 page book on the subject. Doesn’t take on new meeting after we retire.

    I bought a new sundial, but this time of year is not accurate because Portland is rainy this time of year

    Wow, a 300-page book sounds amazing — you clearly have a deep passion and knowledge for the subject! 😊
    And yes, Portland’s weather does make sundials a bit tricky in the rainy season, but imagine the joy when the sun finally peeks through — your new sundial will shine perfectly then! 🌤️🕰️

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
