From the postings of Agent Chronicle, he (or she) apparently grew up in or near La Cañada and has had a lifelong interested in chess.
The Agent has provided these notes:
Time, time, what is time? The Swiss manufacture it. The French hoard it. Italians want it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Do you know what I say? I say time is a crook.
—"Beat the Devil" (1953)
Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
—"Hazy Shade of Winter" by Simon and Garfunkle
Life Song
Isn't life beautiful?
Isn't life gay?
Isn't life the perfect thing
To pass the time away?
—Dickie Smothers and Mason Williams
"I wish there were more time."
-- Richard Ney 1915-2004
Man born of woman
is of few days and full of trouble.
He springs up like a flower and withers away;
like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.
—Job 14:1-2 (NIV)
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
—Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV)
The only completely reliable information we have obtained at this point is that Agent Chronicle is perceived by his family members as always being late.
