Efficiency I can not leave yet, the ominous green light on the coffee pot... just went out, but the brew inside, is still hot. There are a number of ideas, that would be lost in the shuffle, if I cleaned my desk. I can not let that happen. I must stand guard, over my own common sense. As in this case, it threatens to lead me astray. My cup is half empty, I have edited half a story, and written... all of another. The day has drifted in and out, from my world. I am not concerned. I am enthralled..., in the moment, not the minute of the hour. In the wee beats... chimes on the clock the morning announced, past the noon hour on the other side, of the world... I am done. At least for now. I can close my eyes, until the next time, the clock strikes again; at the appointed point, the race starts, and the words are released... once more.

Definitely missed you calling there, Ann, as an 'efficiency expert.' Enjoyed this one immensely. Kick back to Tranquility, Gershon
