Lily, Damian and I watched baby Clara for a couple of hours

When I was in college, I was always behind on my homework. This was because I was a procrastinator and never did work in a timely fashion. I had a recurring daydream in which time would stop and I would catch up on all my homework while lounging on a beautiful beach. After I graduated, I thought that I would no longer have that daydream. I thought that now homework was in my past, I would no longer feel the need to stop time in order to catch up.
Boy, was I ever wrong. I want to do so many things, but I have two huge hurdles that I am directly responsible for: 1) my inability to stay focused on a single task; and 2) my procrastination. And I wonder, if I was able to stay focused and didn’t procrastinate, would I accomplish more? Or, is it woven into the very nature of time and human curiousity that we will always have more things we desire to do than we have time for?
I don’t know the answer to that. If I ever learn to focus and quit procrastinating, maybe someday I will find out.
