Working without the right tool and what-ever-you-need is bad timing in a black hole....

It wasn't until late in life that I discovered how easy it is to say "I don't know."  -Somerset Maugham

m late to class again.

Running into the room i hear an announcement of the ‘pillow test.'
“Today you will either sleep or take the test. But sooner or later you will have to take the test.”
Presently, the bell rings + everyone leaves as a new group of students queue up to file in - some wanting the test, others wanting pillows.  -jahh / Script

Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.  -Jean-Paul Sartre

Repartee is something we think of twenty-four hours too late.  -Mark Twain

  5. Some memorable quotes. So many times the take on this week's theme comes back to the confluence of too early and too late. Happy TT

  15. I'm just wondering if that ice cream cone qualifies for the 3-second rule... or is it too late?

    ReplyDelete
  16. JeffScape... I always thought it was the 30 second rule. ???

  17. Noooooooo! Only 3! Some cultures allow 5, but a lot can happen in 2 seconds!

  19. Ahhh Jean Paul is making a big impression today! Loved the visit...even if it was a little late...but then again is it ever too late to read a post or post a post?
