Everyone has the same amount of time. No one can buy more or spend less. How one uses time says a lot about the person using it. Does one visit with friends, conversing and sharing? Does one write, read, reflect and while enjoying these activities, listen to music or the quiet? Does one create a physical object, or supervise another person? How do your minutes and hours slip away? What do you do as the seconds quietly tick by?
At this time, Ira Glass' THIS AMERICAN LIFE is on the National Public Radio Station. Michael is in his office, encoding the video from last night's productions at River Ridge High School, as the television drones in the background. My fingers type these words, as my mind filters what I write and what I hear on the radio. Multi-tasking is not always efficient. My typing or my listening is not completely involved. So I now choose to stop what I am doing so I can simply relax, listen, and reflect on the words of the stories on this evening's THIS AMERICAN LIFE.
