point to ponder.

Joanne B. Ciulla: Some chronobiologistbelieve that body temperature and metabolic rates affect an individual's perception of time. For example, children usually have lower body temperatures, so for them time moves slowly. This might explain what is behind the dreaded refrain "Are we there yet?" Older people have higher body tempertures and perceive time as moving quickly, hance for them "It seems like just yesterday."

I was enjoying a movie about the first astornauts about a couple of days ago. the movie: the right stuff. funny movie. then today picked a readers digest to read some of the funny stories and quotes and points ot ponder stuff and came opon a story about about John Glenn, the third person to fly into space or techinquely the forth if counting the russian, then the second to orbit earth. then the story continues with him goin back in to space for the second time in his 70's, 77 to be exact. i like the story of his life. It is something.
