Listen To Life
What kind of clock do you like best?

So what kind of clock do you have?  Is it a digital clock, the kind where you can watch the seconds rush by?  The computer program I use to record my radio show has a clock on it that goes down to the thousandth of a second.  Talk about time flying! On that clock it really moves on.
