The Time
I used to get a little thrill back when telephones still had dials by calling “Time”. Not in the playground sense but literally, in that I could call a phone number and get the exact time from a recording. Did you ever do this? Do they even still have that service, I wonder?

Here We Go Again
Sunday morning, a cup of coffee, a dash of boredom, and Photo Booth. Oh dear.
