Time (Philip Zimbardo on Time Perception)

Thanks to Teresa for sharing the Zimbardo video on her blog. I wonder what I would have done as a kid staring down that marshmallow on the plate. I can be pretty good at delaying gratification, but also a master procrastor. I'd like to reread an interesting book re: time, entitled Sideways Look At Time and often think of one of my all time favorite Twilight episodes entitled Time Enough At Last starring Burgess Meredith. Between the combination of becoming more and more farsighted and working in a library while the man in my life's 2nd job is working at Hyde Bros. Bookstore (biggest used bookstore in Indiana), I'm really starting to identify with the twilight zone character. In other words, the books are stacking up on me. I just can't resist them and J brings me these treasures and lays them at my feet like a courting bower bird. He knows what I like! Sometimes I talk about our really good times spent together, talking, laughing, etc... as stretching time, and really good family time I describe as golden moments.
