Show Description

Time is one of the most diffiicult things to define. Does time exist in nature? Five minutes of time you that you are enjoying immensly, it goes by in a split second in your mind. Five minutes of torture can strech on for hours. Shep spends the rest of the show reading poetry and Japanese Haiku all related with the celebration of the new year.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
