REALLY Fast

"I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark." (Muhammad Ali) I'm thinking Bachelor #5 could have given Muhammad Ali a run for his money. I didn't have an answer to the marriage question, much less the idea of September, all I could say was, "THAT is REALLY fast!" And as Bachelor #5 acknowledged it was fast, he didn't let me off the hook by saying, "no pressure," and I sure felt the difference! I finally felt some pressure to begin thinking about things in earnest. However, I wasn't sure I could decide such an important thing at that stage of my life, much less on a "deadline." "Oh! do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch." (Jane Austen) Bachelor #5 added, "And when you decide, if you decide the way I hope you do, you only have to say two words, 'It's time,' and I'll take care of the rest. That's all I want to hear, 'It's time'." I didn't know what I was going to decide. But I owed it to myself, my children and Bachelor #5 to make a decision. It was time to get serious with my thoughts. Very serious." I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it." (Jack Handey, SNL)
