Publisher's Synopsis
What do you do when you run out of time? Ask Ananias Ezra Zachenko what he did after he was diagnosed. He set an agenda, took care of his finances, delved into relationships, and considered the final act. Didn't go into denial, but defiance - there's the difference.
The diagnosis compressed his life into a year, to a year and a half, at best. The solution to the dilemma he believed was to switch to dog years to expand the time he had left. He always thought a dog year was seven years to our one until he was told to divide 365 days by seven and found out a 'true dog year' is 52 days - not 52 weeks. But by doing so he also found a 'year' to be an arbitrary measurement, it had one meaning for a human and another for a dog. The solution to his situation was to calculate 'dog years' on a weekly basis as opposed to a daily one. Taking this approach, In his mind, turns the one or so years left into at least seven years.
During his dog years, Ananias Zachenko planned for everything, but nothing turned out as expected. He concentrated on time, when he should have been looking at weight. Unaware time in this dimension generates weight in another. No matter the type of year, when one runs out of time here, one must figure out how to make weight in the next dimension...
