Time Masheen

Sunday 27th March, 2016 (maybe...)

I woke up this morning in 1989; Streeton Drive, Weston Creek, Canberra.

It's quite wonderful to be able to hold onto these half-awake moments first thing in the morning when you are not sure where (or in this case when) you are.

What is amazing about the possibilities of the omniverse (or is it multiverse), is that time travel seems entirely likely. Maybe we just need to let go of our insistence of the linearity and unidirectionality of time to which we are accustomed.

Of course at the moment we are still firmly rooted in the present (entendre intended), particularly when half-awake turns into fully awake. But today is certainly a gift which is why it is called the present.

And of the future I can only show you a picture taken with an amazing time masheen camera. Here is me in 25 years time, in the kitchen.

Hey pig, have you seen the dog anywhere?
Do come and visit! And where is Miss Kym? Taking the photo of course!

Kym also is sick of me listening to Kermit The Frog (aka GM Benjamin Finegold) talking about chess in his online video series.  She has come up with a new version of chess which she says is based on reality,  The "horse" can only move if it has been recently shod.  The Queen may not move if she is pregnant, and the Bishop may be delayed due to a Royal Commission.

Seems reasonable...

Happy Easter for this year (and beyond).
