It's November 1st already...what happened to June??

REALLY! And it seems that the older we get, the faster it flies! 

@perrone1 Yes indeed!!!

@perrone1 I remember my father explaining this to me, decades ago - with the caveat:  "You won't believe this now, but  ........"

Time flies when you're having fun.

When you're busy working, too: without time to eat, let alone post about little cars!  Hopefully I'll get back to my 1930s European cars now that it's November 🤞.

I heard a lot of the very same - but from Mom!   

....I'm still trying to figure out what happened to November 1, 2022 and November 1, 2023!    😬 😬   I can't believe (almost shocked really ) that in c.8 weeks it will be 2025!    ONE QUARTER of this CENTURY is already gone!  

Weren't we all just recently worried about Y2K?  😬 😲

As much as I loathe the practice, we do get an hour back Sunday when we turn the clocks back a whole hour!! Whoopee!

@perrone1 I've always maintained this is the best night of the year for a boozy party.

I just don't understand the increasing blur of each year passing faster than the previous one, especially since retiring.  It makes no sense whatsoever.  I have all day every day to putz about doing basically whatever my heart desires from hour to hour, usually accomplishing four-fifths of bugger all....and I have gotten quite good at it, never becoming bored.  Of course I have my model hobby and this forum which is a very positive use of time but still the speed of which each month/season/year passes is shocking.  Given the lovely, slow pace of retirement life you would logically think time passage would slow considerably, but as many of us have commented, the exact opposite is true.  I guess my only option in coming to terms with this reality is to continue to commiserate with my beloved terrier/poodle-cross Otis, whose lifespan of a 7 to 1 faster ratio makes me realize that my lot could be far worse.

Back when a little kid waiting for Mom, an hour seemed an eternity; in retirement waiting an hour for the wife is no problem, take your time dear.

PS: Now the days take their time but he weeks & months & years fly by.

@jack-dodds  You're quite the little philosopher there, Jack.    😏 😏

Time flies in retirement because many are no longer "clock watchers."    

Most individuals who work are "obsessed"  with time....  always waiting for the next coffee break, or wondering if lunch will ever come, how soon 5:00 will get here.... not to mention getting up on time, fighting traffic, etc., etc...

In retirement, none of that matters.  You get up whenever and, well, before you know it, it's 10:00pm! 

@chris Well now ...you calling me by that name has made my day Chris.....I haven't been called little in decades!
