FALLING BEHIND IN 2006 — by Steve Nadis
We’re only a week or so into 2006, and I’m already hopelessly behind. First I came back from Mexico to a pile of newspapers and magazines which meant an immediate backlog of 7 sudoku puzzles, not to mention all the papers and magazines I still have to plow through. Then there were all the bills I was supposed to pay before the trip but still haven’t gotten around to. And then there are all the movies I’m supposed to see but haven’t found time for yet. And all the TV shows I didn’t watch now that I officially “watch” TV, even though I rarely have time to do so.
It’s all very disquieting for a person like me who used to stay on top of things. But that proud tradition–staying on top of things–is now a thing of the past, it seems. So I’d better get used to the future which, so far as I can tell, will consist of catching up on all the things from the past that were never attended to in the present.
If that makes sense to you, please explain it to me one day when I have a moment to listen. But I’m afraid now isn’t the best time.

I am listening, it’’s true. But sometimes I”d like that little voice to shut up.
Well, if it’s any comfort to you: My 2006 started with a pile-up that just keeps getting upper and upper!
p.s. The voice in my head shuts up as soon as I turn off the lights. It’s afraid of the dark.
sounds like you’re giving me a run for the money in the pile-up dept., FW. You’re lucky to have a voice that knows when to shut up.
