NORTHERN PLANNER

I’m waiting for some news right now, which will probably be bad. It’s true that it’s taking a fair while  – but the more I think about it, the longer it seems to take. Which is why I’m making myself crazy busy. And you know what? That saying  – "A watched pot never boils" and actually has a scientific basis.

The internal clock we all have is a loop of neurons running around the ganglia. And it takes about a tenth of a second to do a loop  – one tick of your body clock. But guess what? When the brain gets warm, it goes faster. Same thing happens under the influence of adrenalin. A bit of stress, rushing around, getting anxious, makes time seem to go a lot quicker. On the other hand, doing nothing just waiting seems to last forever.

Thank God for the music challenge.
