That was real neighborly of you Joe, to give fair warning and not just pull the rug out from under the poor guy. Very nice.

No past tense? We should then continue this thread in present and future tense only. Time is motion and if you turn around to look at where you is then that is also a new motion and so is also in the present (tense). So there really is nothing but the present. Motion defines the present and there is no good to come from mourning something that is not there.

Do you catch the movie "Memento"? a very here-and-now reel.
