Summertime Visions...  As I listen to the rain hitting the window of my study and ponder my next editorial, I realize how much I have to do. I am preparing to go on vacation but I still need to finish my dental laboratory workload, answer several telephone calls to clients and of course complete this editorial. I am you might say trying to squeeze the proverbial two liters’ into a one liter bottle. I know well that it would not fit but I continue to try. Why? I ask myself, do I continue to force so much into such a limited amount of time. I know I am not alone – the familiar voices of friends who repeat the often used clichés of “not enough time” “too little time” “ time is flying so fast” echo all around me.

Now don’t misunderstand me – I recognize and honor my responsibilities – but I don’t think I am alone in this “not enough time struggle.” How do I stretch time, because let us be honest , there is so much to do and so little time - there goes the clichés again.

Everyday life and business have become so fast and furious, that the sound of yet another telephone ringing can cause feelings of crazed intentions of moving to a desert island and listening to Bob Marley on my I. Pod forever As I prepare to go on vacation I am torn between listening to another past story of the recently deceased Mr. Michel Jackson or do a thorough check of my Scuba Gear and underwater photography equipment.
