That time has come and gone; I am now a husband, a father, an employee, and a home owner. My time is scarce, sold to the highest bidder. Some part of me has been putting off deep theological study waiting for days when things will slow down and I will find myself with an abundance of time. What a fool I have been; I will likely have no such time until I retire or die, and I cannot wait that long to resume my studies. I shall have to study deep, but in short intervals. Maybe that will be enough, for now.</p> </div> <div id="more" class="entry-more"> </div> </div> <p class="entry-footer"> <span class="post-footers">Posted by Seth Croston Barber on July 7, 2008 11:02 PM</span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="http://blog.0kelvin.net/lite/2008/07/wasteful_wishing_for_halcyon_d.html">Permalink</a> </p> </div> <div class="trackbacks"> <h3 id="trackback" class="trackbacks-header">TrackBack</h3> <div id="trackbacks-info"> <p>TrackBack URL for this entry:<br />http://blog.0kelvin.net/mt-tb.cgi/504</p> </div> <div class="trackbacks-content"> </div> </div> <div id="comments" class="comments"> <div class="comments-content"> </div> <form method="post" action="http://blog.0kelvin.net/mt-comments.cgi" name="comments_form" onsubmit="if (this.bakecookie.checked) rememberMe(this)"> <input type="hidden" name="static" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="entry_id" value="1216" /> <div class="comments-open" id="comments-open"> <h2 class="comments-open-header">Post a comment</h2> <div class="comments-open-content"> <script type="text/javascript">  </script> <p class="comments-open-moderated"> (If you haven't left a comment here before, you may need to be approved by the site owner before your comment will appear.
