I'm Still Here

I'm sorry I haven't posted on here in a while. I have been really busy lately, and this just got pushed to the bottom of the list of priorities. I am still alive and I hope to be able to write a better post than this on my blog soon. Have a Happy New Month's Eve!

Just a Second

Most people complain of a lack of time in their busy lives to do everything they want to. For those people the following news will bring great joy: The official time-keeping officials have added an extra second to our lives. Yesterday at exactly 7 PM Eastern Standard Time the minute became 61 seconds long just for that special moment in history. Why, do you ask, did they do such a thing? It seems that our precious world is not as young as it used to be and is slowing down. Scientists say that this deceleration is due to the moon's gravitational pull on the Earth. An article from the Associated Press says that "The same force that brings the tides is putting the brakes on the earth, albeit very slowly." I sincerely hope that all of you enjoyed the extra second in your lives and put it to good use. Speaking of time keeping and time passing...Happy New Year!
