EVER THINK ABOUT 'CONDENSATION'...?
How do you condense a 12 year period into a couple of days? You decide to watch all ROGER MOORE's JAMES BOND movies in a two day film-fest. I haven't done it yet, but I intend to do so at some stage before I get too much older. Roger played Bond from 1973 to 1985, which was very nearly half my life up to when he relinquished the role. Consequently, that 12 year duration seems far longer than a similar period would appear to me today. For instance, the last 12 years seems like no time at all to me - 2005 feels like no more than a few months away at the most.
That 12 years from '73 to '85 saw a lot of changes in my life; the usual kind that everyone experiences to be sure, but no less important on an individual level for all that. I was a schoolboy for Roger's first two Bond outings, worked in a variety of jobs (with periods of unemployment) for the next four, and was a full-time freelancer for his swan-song. I was also living in a different house for the last two films. Friends came and went during that time, the face of my town was transformed (not always for the better) over the period, and world events would require several paragraphs to do them justice. (Relax, I'll spare you the ordeal.)
The same thing can happen with books, too. For example, I've bought the hardback volumes of The BROONS and OOR WULLIE every year since the series first came out in 1996 - 21 years ago. Apart from the fact that it doesn't seem anywhere near that far back, it's an odd feeling to see such a short area of shelf space representing 21 years of one's life. How can 21 years fit into a width of less than two feet? Ach, well, no use labouring the point, but the fact that the collected acquisitions of a person's entire life could probably be fitted into one room (if it was all boxed and stacked floor to ceiling) testifies to just how insignificant a dent we make in the overall scheme of things.
