One might think that I would know myself quite well after seventy years, but I am constantly surprised.
It wasn't until this year that I discovered the intensity of movies becomes almost too much for me almost exactly half way through.
Growing up I knew programs were thirty, sixty, or ninety minutes long and they started on the half hour, or hour, so all I had to do was look at the clock to know how much longer I had to wait for the tension to end.
Now that all my viewing is done via the Internet, things can start and end at any old time, but when I cannot bear it anymore I can pause and look to see how much more time is left.
It is always within a few minutes of halfway through!
Not earth shattering news, but interesting to me that I am that consistent.
