Pilgrims will need to pick up the pace a bit. There is less time now to get in the day's walking:

The massive earthquake that struck northeast Japan Friday (March 11) has shortened the length Earth's day by a fraction and shifted how the planet's mass is distributed.

A new analysis of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake in Japan has found that the intense temblor has accelerated Earth's spin, shortening the length of the 24-hour day by 1.8 microseconds, according to geophysicist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Thank you Falcon so that explains why my time has flown for the last decade-I just started 'spinning faster' after my 40th birthday....... :shock:

It's gotten worse since I turned 50.

I am dreading 60. :lol:

Am I dreading 60. :lol:

I take the view that life should only get better - unless you want it to get worse, which doesn't sound all that attractive!

My 82-year-old father tells me it just goes faster and faster. Christmas immediately follows the Fourth of July.

Amen. Please tell your father he is a sage.
