I insist – almost anally – on being a little early….my wife insists on getting there whenever…the struggle that ensues robs punctuality of joy. There can be greater joy in just going with the flow.
Wow… the comments section have been almost as entertaining to read as one of Captain Eddie’s explanations for what happened to his boat… and they’ve made about as much sense.
Working early shifts in restaurants, bakeries, the military, and law enforcement left me with a degree of contempt for “early risers” or “morning people”, and strict time allegiance. It also taught me “there is nothing wrong with morning, that noon doesn’t cure”.
Wiley is also the BEST at stating what is often on my alleged mind.
@Wiley —thin skin. LOL. i think there’s some question as to the psychology of cartoonists. how much are the characters an extension of their personalities?i suppose i could look at where self-healing thru the art transes into compulsion for self-actualization or self-realization.you know, thin-skinned character in Non-Sequitir. for what seems to be known about the cartoonist. and i’ll confess right here that to know that decision-maker is to analyze him. at least it’s a sizely temptation.
Hmmm. He’s still doing better than the Procrastinator’s Club. They expect to have their annual meeting for 2010 one of these days, so they can work on their predictions for 2011.

I thought “Hippie time” was based on highs and lows. For instance: “I’ll be there when I’m high and leave when I’m low”.

Well if I’m punctual, like I usually am and there’s no one there at 7:40 on the dot, then I am so out of there.

I stopped wearing a watch when I retired. I only set an alarm when I have to and have a whole lot less stress in my life. If I’m late, so what?
