Time Keeps on Slippin’ Slippin’, Into the Future

Posted on: Tuesday, December 30th, 2003 in: Uncategorized

Again, stealing a lead-in from Wabi-Sabi, who doesn’t seem to use lyrical introductions any longer……this old Steve Miller Band chestnut fits the times around ol’ ThreadBear of late. I had pictures taken, I had a concept for a Monday post, but the time got away from me. We had a good bit on [...]
