If no one asks me, I know; if I want to explain it to someone who does ask me, I do not know. Yet I state confidently that I know this: if nothing were passing away, there would be no past time, and if nothing were coming, there would be no future time, and if nothing existed, there would be no present time. How then can these two kinds of time, the past and the future be, when the past no longer is and the future as yet does not be? But if the present were always present, and would not pass into the past, it would no longer be time but eternity. Therefore, if the present, so as to be time, must be so constituted that it passes into the past, how can we say that it is, since the cause of its being is the fact that it will cease to be? Does it not follow that we can truly say that it is time, only because it tends towards non-being? St. Augustine, Confessions, Book 11
Is it just me, or does Mr. Pastis seem to suffer from depression? I mean it. There is nothing even vaguely funny in this comic any more. Not preaching, just hoping he can come out of it.

Valerie Bertinelli took it one day at a time. The Doobie Brothers took it minute by minute.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

What then is time? (In the time of Covid)
