Wouldn't it be grand to have a clone?
Oh, the possibilities! Of course there are the obvious tasks that I'd assign to my clone - like housework, workwork, Christmas shopping, doctor appointments, exercise (which of course would make MY body look better - I AM dreaming, you know), and just basically taking care of anything I don't especially feel like doing myself.
Okay, so I have a clone to do my bidding. What's left for me to do? Sleep til noon? Read everything I can get my hands on? Go back to school? Travel the world? (Wow, I hope my clone has a really good job.) Finally learn to paint and play the guitar? Volunteer at the homeless shelter or at a nursing home? All those things would be wonderful...but remember the old saying that goes something like "All work and no play makes somebody or other a dull boy?" Would that also be true the other way around? All play and no work? Would the play be fun and special without the work as a counterbalance of sorts? If I didn't work to earn the play, would I have an appreciation for the latter? I think probably not.
But still...maybe a parttime clone would be nice. I wouldn't mind sharing my housework. I'm generous that way.
Til next time...
