Electric Grandmother

I've run into this SF story more than once. Probably the most famous version is the one that aired on the Twilight Zone in the 1980's and starred the mom from A Christmas Story. You know, the story about the wife and mother who doesn't have any time, but finds a magical something or other which allows her stop time and be able to do WHATEVER SHE WANTS.

If I found the magical something or other that would allow me to stop time, today I would stop time and get all my work done (the work that pays), and then start time again and use the real time to write fiction, read, and nap.

And then I'd take another nap.

Have I mentioned I'm not so fond of this jet lag thing?
