The Elasticity of Time

Here I am — on vacation for a whole week.  The time stretches ahead in lazy summer and my plans to write, clear clutter/clean house, and run errands seem delightfully achievable.  By mid-week, however, I expect time to begin its inexorable compression and I will have to pick and choose what to accomplish before I go back at work on Aug. 28.  Einstein called time relative and applied rigorous principles of physics to explain how it works, but all he really needed was a long “to do” list!
