I'm spending HOW long on that?
Now Playing: Still nothing. How strange.
Topic: Time
So, last night, as we finished playing the new Link/Zelda game on the Wii for the evening, I noticed that we've spent over 26 hours on it so far.

26 HOURS!

Am I really better off knowing how much of my life is being spent on that game?

I think other things in life should have those "counters." How much time do I spend:

• in traffic? (not much, compared to "city folk")
  
• watching TV just because I have a few minutes and can't think of anything else I can get done in that time?
  
• Waiting for everyone else to be ready so we can go to church? (Or whatever ... To be fair, this counter doesn't get incremented much anymore. Not because I don't go to church, but most of the time, it's just three of us, and we either go in two cars, or we're just more in sync than we were when there were six and Adam was one of them. :-)
  
• Reading Fantasy Football stuff (yikes - at least this counter doesn't go up as quickly)
  
• Reading fiction -- I want this one to grow much more than it has in the last 15 years.
  

Civ III Complete tells me how long a game TOOK -- but thankfully doesn't tell me how long it's TAKING.
