From this posting it appears you spend a lot of time pondering imponderables (like me!). My advice: Introspection - Good if not overdone. Bad dreams? - Not Good, especially if overdone. I think a lot about what I will leave behind, and I try to make sure they will be Good things that Mean Something. I think we're approaching a time when people will want to spend time compiling and compressing the things they value and treasure into some sort of digital archive. I've stopped trying to think about who might ever read it or look at it. When I consider the things I value from the past, I don't think the people who created them worried very much about me or the future. And much of the value I appreciate in their work is just their experience and outlook, because change is constant, and its hard to imagine what life was like even for my parents, much less their parents. Or what the world will be like in another 100 years! Nice, thoughtful thoughts! I appreciate being a facebook friend of yours! :) Dave Sieg, Kingsport, TN Joan:
