We sprung forward in time tonight. An hour just swept away which for me at this time of the year always gets me a little on edge, especially on this first morning. Actually, to be fair, anything that gets me out of my routine gets me a little on edge but losing time of any sort affects me the most. It’s one of those tics that seem to get more and more pronounced with each passing year.
Time!
Came in this morning an hour later and wanted to write the blog quickly to save a little of this precious stuff, this time. Of course, my computer is running oddly and my internet connection seems to be an hour behind still, it’s running so slow. So, my time-saving has gone awry as I reboot this and reboot that.
Darn you, time!
This is still not going well, technology-wise. Everything is glitchy as I write this so instead of fighting it and getting even more frustrated, I am going to wrap it up and introduce this week’s song for Sunday morning. It is, of course, Time from Pink Floyd off of their classic Dark Side of the Moon album. I realized this morning that I never play anything off this album, as much as I like it, or from Pink Floyd at all.
It’s probably a deep reaction to how ubiquitous this music was in the 70’s and 80’s. You couldn’t go a half hour on any FM station that played rock music without hearing a song from Dark Side of the Moon— or Hotel California, Free Bird, or Stairway to Heaven.
After awhile, you develop an aversion to even those things you like when you are exposed to them all the time. It’s like I really enjoy hot fudge sundaes but I wouldn’t want to have that same thing every hour of the day. Bad example. I could totally eat hot fudge sundaes day in and day out.
But now I am excited to hear these songs again since time– yes, time– has cleansed away that stench of ubiquity.
So, if you have time, give a listen. If not, get to it. You have time to make up.
I know I do. See ya’.

Your ubiquity is my “Huh? No kidding?” I’ve never heard this one from Pink Floyd, which may raise the question of where I was in the 70s and 80s, but never mind that. I suppose everyone deals with time in their own way. Here’s my favorite ‘time song’. Now: coffee.
A favorite of mine, as well. For some reason I have never shared the original version from Sandy Denny though I idd share one from Eva Cassidy early last year. This Judy Collins is lovely, as is most of her work. Thanks, Linda. Enjoy your coffee.
For some reason Shoreacres song didn’t appear on my feed, but I’m guessing it must be Who Knows Where The Time Goes. Anyway, while we’re on the subject, here are a bunch of songs presented by a Nobel laureate DJ.

The opening of your selection sounded like the way too early
Or, if you’re more into coffee, there’s this!

Our pupper Millie was ecstatic this morning when I was out of bed an hour earlier.
Mr Tony
I bet! What kind of pupper is Millie?
I have not seen you for too long…
Millie is a 16 mo. old Blood hound.
We lost Lucy in November 😦
Long story for post covid time.
I had heard about Lucy and am so sorry for your loss. I hope Millie is some comfort. I take it she’s a good girl?
Listening to this, I’ve time travelled back to 20 years old, to a time of totally new experiences. Been too long since I’ve heard this so thank you, I’m off to find it on Spotify!
You’re welcome!
