Happy New Year All!!
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once. -- Albert Einstein
I remember becoming fascinated with calendars when I was 5 years old; then, later, there were wrist watches to discover.
I collected calendars ad nauseum, and after getting my Roy Rogers watch, would continually ask anyone around if they wanted to know what time it was.
I became majorly disappointed with time when I got my hands on a perpetual calendar at 9-10 years old. That's when I discovered that the year 2000 was coming. Boy,oh boy, did I want to see that.
(Pause here for calculations.) ... Never going to get to see that one. I'd be 53... nobody lives that long!
Later I discovered the error of my 'wisdom' and still dig time.
For this challenge post anything to which you can somehow attach time; timepieces, of course, but also use your imagination.
Posting my whole contribution now and will step back and watch.
