TOMORROW IS FOREVER

Sometimes it seems that way: sometimes it is.

Remember when as children we were told, "Tomorrow, we're going to..."?  We couldn't sleep the sleep that only the young can.  Imagination/anticipation kicked in, and it was necessary to count sheep before dropping off.

I still can quote a little Shakespeare, although not much as most former bard teachers, but one line I recall from Macbeth was "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow/creeps in this petty pace from day to day/ to the last syllable of recorded time".  And I never knew what it meant, but if Will said it, it must be so.

"Tomorrow" from Annie held promise for her and the others at the orphanage when she sang it.  From juco English guru John Traver who once wrote on the board "Tomorrow will be better," though he dotted the e.  Something about satire, I believe.

For me, "Tomorrow is forever," when procrastinating.  I'm am so good at that.  In fact, I just reminded myself that there's a closet light that has burned out that I need to replace.  I said I would a few tomorrows ago.  I'm going now.

Check back tomorrow to see if it got done or not.
