But time = money, no?

Money makes the world go round. Balls to that! It's the gravitational pull of the sun which causes the earth to revolve around it, at the same time adding rotation to its orbit. And the world's elliptical for goodness sake.

I'm wishing with a child-like slackness that I could have all the time in the world.

That's pretty much asking for all the money in the world. No?

Alright then, could I have at least some extra time pretty please, like in a football game?

I think, all you need is a solid, concrete plan. Like, paper kind of solid.

A chisel and slab of stone would be nice.
