A month already into the new year; and isn´t it curious how time intermittently seems to dash us by?
As you get ready for work, as you go to a class, as you put on and take off those intriguing sunglasses, you just bought, and as the day advances, time is passing; but there are also, periodically, those ever singular moments, that seem to last eternity.
And so, we travel to a second, nay, less...They say the average blink lasts about one tenth of a second.
And how about to a minute? Your eyes close, open, close, repeat, you´re talking on the phone. It´s automatic. Reflex; blink, blink; you blink about twelve times every minute. And this time, what was it anyways? But a number, added numbers, one, two, three, numbers, we find them everywhere.
You step outside, put on your snazzy sunglasses, your eyes immediately protected from the sun.
And did you know your eyes weigh approximately .25 ounces and they are about one inch across. Also, bet you ´t know; each of your eyes are doted with a blind spot? Right in the back of your retina, where the optic nerve attaches, but you don´t notice this small little void in your eyesight, because your eyes function do systematically fill it in.

And yes, let´s continue with numbers but now to time, we travel in time, to concrete dates...
