Amoha, welcome to The Shang. Have some free tea or coffee at the Cafe Chez Marc. Careful not to step on the doxies.
Here is my favorite Wordsworth --
"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Good Morning..........at least it is morning by my clock. Marc, the doxies will have plenty of room to run at my place. I will post a picture in the future.
Amoha, welcome to the Shang!
Don, I love it - your explanation of time is absolutely brilliant! A piece to do you proud.
My understanding of time: It's either now or it's not now.
Sadly, this minimalist view of time has not served me well since, apparently, what you do when it's "now" can affect what happens to you when it's "not now". But since it's really always "now" I've never been able to understand how what I do now can influence what happens at some other time that never arrives.

Jeanne, yes, the doxies need room to run. So, maybe I shall send them all out for a visit. They could protect you from any stray badgers or wolverines that might be in the area.

Morning all. A quick coffee and I am off to do many errands today. I met Elaine yesterday on her job site and we had a chat for 15 minutes or so. That now makes three Shangers I have met in person, the other two being Margaret and Beej. Nice people all.
Nearly 11 o'clock again. Almost time to pull the pin for the day. Maybe I shall make it until 12 o'clock? We shall see.

Morning everyone. I think I've got a solution to Marc's time issues. Why don't we send in the doxies to sneak in and reset the time while Marc's asleep? Failing that, they could take the watch and hide it on him, and someone else can send him a new gift watch set at a more accurate time.
Morning all, from beautiful .... *looks out window* .... Slave Lake.
I indeed met Mr. Sinc yesterday. It was a pleasant distraction from collecting vitamin D. The contractors I was working with have interesting definitions of time too. And what constitutes 'power to the equipment'. If I could collect all the time I've spent on jobsites waiting for the electricians, I'd have a lot of time on my hands ...
Moscool - congrats on the interview. I love your accent. And your job title. I wish I had a cool job title like that.
Marc - good luck on your forthcoming interview. Although being in print any accent you have won't come through.
Hope everyone else's weeks are going well - moves, new responsibilities, etc. etc.
Later all ... enjoy your days in whatever time zone you are.
