Publish or perish

I guess I should be used to being by myself. I am during the daytime but not usually at night. Well, I am currently on my own as my wife is away and I am well trained to fend for myself, however, time killing has taken on a new dimension. I guess it's the tuna salad and Yoo-Hoo in the refrigerator..(solo food)

My theme in this blog has been and will continue to be how a victim of downsizing spends (or kills) time. I figured it would be amusing and unique. I wasn't sure if the theme had been explored and actually wondered if there was a book publishing opportunity - of course I'd have to expand the entries since I cater largely to the short-attention span reader (just like me).

So in today's New York (Sunday) Times there was a full-page article on how employed people spend their time versus how unemployed people spend their time. So much for the uniqueness of exploring Time Killing. The article was interesting as expected. Of course the unemployed spend more time sleeping, watching TV and going out in the afternoon. There was a large graphic showing these differences. Sometimes I think I am graphically challenged since the chart, to me, was convoluted or at least not easy to digest. The key is that there are other people thinking about this topic. I'm saving the page to revisit and show others and maybe get permission to reprint in my book.."MY book".. is that wishful thinking? What will be the title of the final entry?
