Hi Ian, I find your writing interesting so I've been reading your log.
Your note reminds me of the xkcd comic from yesterday -- xkcd.com/749/. Be sure to hover your mouse over the picture to see the subtext (or check 'image properties'). ;-)
Hi, Janet: thanks for the feedback. The luxury of existential crises gives many opportunities for commentary. I'm glad you have found my random musings worthwhile.
I also enjoy xkcd. Another similar comic is this one.
