What I want for the holidays: TIME.
Is there some sort of PayPal for increments of Time, where people can gift me, say, 15 minutes here, an hour there? Where I can accrue Time in an account and then use (“spend”) it in large blocks? I’d love to get an email one day that says, “Frank Smith has sent you 30 minutes! Use it as you wish! And best wishes for a frank and productive holiday season… from TimePal.”
And perhaps that time could be spent in some sort of Internet-free, telephone-free, work-free bubble, with books and paper and crayons and a typewriter (gasp!) and some art tools and other things with which I could site and create and learn and think. Some way to flip the EQ knob from Consume to Create.
(OK, then I guess I’ll need the damned bubble, too…)
Still, what I really want is the TIME.
