I noticed, however, that time slowed up about 50% while in California the first week of June. It struck me clearly the first full day there; seemed like two days&#8217; worth of time and they were all like that. This would support the argument for moving to California, unless I don&#8217;t really want to find brakes for what seems like a waxed slide to the grave. I&#8217;m pretty sure I would like to slow it up, painful though it may be. It&#8217;s like California was a bare stretch on the slide, and I hit wax again soon as we got back to Lawrence. Since returning, there&#8217;s been no time for activities to prepare for a move. Well, there might be time if I did nothing else; maybe that&#8217;s what it&#8217;ll take. My doctors would all say this perception of accelerating time is &#8220;psychological&#8221;. As if they&#8217;re qualified to make such assessments. Seven years and they haven&#8217;t been able to make a diagnosis. Their scientific tests say, with the precision of Swiss clocks, that I&#8217;m healthy as a horse. (What&#8217;s with that, anyway? I&#8217;ve seen some downright sickly horses). Since their scientific tests aren&#8217;t telling the truth (at least not the important truth) about my health, it seems plausible to me that Swiss clocks aren&#8217;t telling the truth about time, either. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s no question: the older you get, the faster you get older.
