I should have been more specific. I made the mistake of telling you how 
I'm trying to do something instead of what I'm trying to do. What I'm 
trying to do it to print the time as give by

  Time.now.strftime('%H:%M')

and print/draw it in a large font within the widget without affecting 
anything else that is drawn.
