Thank you Roz Liddle and Tien Skye for your comments. They are greatly appreciated. Yes, melancholy, heart-breaking, lonely, morbid, sad. We all react to time in our own ways. And some get sucked in. Personally, though I may be considered by some as a little cuckoo, I am happy to report that I do not have a single cuckoo clock in my home. No way.
