Who stole January?

I now have a clue that before I know it, it’s going to be Christmas and I’ll be shouting from the rafters, yet once again, “Who stole my year?” This is typically followed by, “I want it back, and I want it back right now!”

I look at my last post and what do I see, but low and behold it was January 5th. Typically, I get to December and want to know who stole the year… but now, for the first time, I actually may have a chance of catching the wiley character because he (or perhaps she) ran off with only a single month. I wonder… behind which virtual tree can I hide in order to catch him/her abscounding with the next month…. or maybe I’ll get lucky and find that person taking only groups of days or even a single day (that’d be a big break).

Come to think of it there were several times in 2005 when all of a sudden, time would be out of whack and I’d realize I was missing a day. And, just yesterday, I had a couple of hours turn up missing. Hey, I think I’m onto something here…

What about you? Have you ever had someone steal time from you? Maybe if everyone who has had that happen got together we could come up with a composite sketch of the thief. Or maybe if there are lots of us spread around this tiny globe we’ll figure out it’s a gang. Maybe we can find the center of their operations and recover some of our valuable time.

Do you remember that 70′s song by Jim Croce, “Time in a Bottle“? It started, “If I could save time in a bottle the first thing that I’d like to do is to save every day till eternity passes away…” Maybe someone’s doing exactly that…. only since they had trouble saving their own time, they’ve been taking mine and maybe yours.

Well, I for one am onto their tricks, and one day I’m going to figure out what’s going on and when I do someone’s going to be in big trouble and I’m going to be much younger than I am right now…
