Lost Track of Time

This morning as I pulled the almost empty gallon of milk out of the fridge, I instinctively checked the date.  The date read 6/16/2008.  I was surprised at that date, since it is at least a month away from today’s date.  “That’s forever away,” I thought as I poured the milk into my cereal.  Wondering exactly how far away ‘forever’ was, I checked my watch.

One coronary later, I realized that today is 6/13/08.  How the hell did that happen?
