Songs of Tomorrow

Look Out, Here Comes Tomorrow – Monkees, 1967

          Tomorrow is Today – Billy Joel, 1971

          Tomorrow Never Comes – Elvis Presley, 1971

                             And lastly,

and possibly the most important one….

          Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow – Shirelles / Carole King – 1960

                             These are statements and questions that will never be known on this ship as the International Date Line will be crossed tomorrow!

                             But…. is there really a Tomorrow?

                             I will not go into the mechanics of the IDL again, you would all revolt and throw your phones, iPads, and laptops against the wall! (desktops would just be smashed)

                             I wonder if there are customs that come with losing a day… like a girl being able to propose to a guy on Batchelor’s Day, traditionally observed on February 29^th or Leap Year, obviously once only every four years. Sadie Hawkins Day (November 13^th) is sometimes confused with that Batchelor’s Day, (which started with St. Patrick and St. Bridget back in the 5^th century) because they have that same goal.

                             What if your birthday is on the day that you cross the IDL …… do you not age, or do you age quicker? I guess it depends on which way you are traveling…. do we get a “Do-Over” ? 🙂

                             What if you go back and forth across the line within a 24-hour period? That could really mess up your life!

                   The answers to these and all things ‘Time Travel’ related will be revealed after we cross the IDL…… but the most important item is still the last one asked by the great Carole King…….

                   Will you still love me tomorrow?

                             But…. what if…. As Elvis asks….

Tomorrow never comes?
