Sir: Earphoned to Mancini and Exercycling, I skimmed your leisure article [Aug. 8] over a No-Cal snack while the Mrs. filmed the natives here at LoaferLux Ranch. As I started to ponder it, I felt like turning my vibrator belt up to "die," but the Bar-B-Q starts at 8 sharp, and I'll never find the Mrs. in the crowd if I don't hurry. God, I'd like to Dictaphone more, but you know how it is.

Sir: Your article on Staffan Linder's book The Harried Leisure Class brings to memory an apropos little poem I once learned:

Time goes, you say,

Ah no,

Time stays,

We go.
