Rad,
Now that you are retired, do you eat dinner at 3 PM?

Also, is the highlight of your day getting the mail?

Thanks!
FB,
I eat all day - don’t really break things into meals anymore.

Daily highlight is watching who shows up at the bird feeder first - Cardinals or Blue Jays. That determines whether I have eggs with bacon or pancakes with bacon. The day is even better if I need to run out and get some more bacon.

Thanks for asking!!
Thank you! Your response really did make me laugh out loud!

Been a while since we had this thread going, but this article spurred me to revive it:
The 'time poverty' that robs parents of success

There’s never enough time in the day. But for some parents, there’s even less – and the ‘time poverty’ problem has never been more magnified.

Time for yourself, time to spend with your kids or time to catch up on household tasks. Ask any parent what their greatest complaint is, and many will say some version of the same problem: there simply isn’t enough time for everything.

Defined as the chronic feeling of having too many things to do and not enough time in which to do them, ‘time poverty’ is on the rise. Research shows most people feel persistently ‘time poor’, and that time poverty can have severe and wide-reaching impacts, including lower wellbeing, physical health and productivity.

I thought this thread was the first round of a Pink Floyd song tourney.

The answer is still Time.

Money has a pretty funky bass line, but agreed.

We really do need some sort of tournament.

Calling @swirls - need your bracket skills.

If we do a tourney, it should definitely be Pink Floyd next. I would be campaigning hard for Echoes and Hey You.

For me it's Eclipse. The song gives me goose bumps every time. I'm not sure what Water's original intent of the song was, but to me the whole song is the culmination of your life, and no matter how hard to prepare, how hard you try, something can come along and screw it all up. When my late gf died, the entire Dark Side of the Moon album really took on a different meaning to me. I think age has helped that along as well, but always when the line "everything under the sun is in tune, and the sun is eclipsed by the moon." I get chills and then think to myself "[expletive],,,,,"
