The GeekHiker

After I posted It’s Worse a week or so ago, I decided to wait a bit before responding. Just to let things in my head sort of settle a little. Then I mentally started working on a post in my head. And responses to all your thoughtful comments. And the e-mails I got. And posts I’d seen elsewhere.

Trying to get it all together has been a wee bit overwhelming.

So tonight I’m replying to everyone’s wonderful, thoughtful, fascinating comments on the post. As well as this post. And I do thank everyone who took the time to comment on the posts.

I’ve also, finally, replied to those of you who sent your thoughts via e-mail regarding my thoughts last week.

In both regards I continue to be amazed and humbled by the depth and intelligence of those who stop by. The net is often a truly amazing place.

And I would be truly remiss if I didn’t point out this post by Dobegil, which touched me so deeply that I found it difficult to read at first, and this post by Mother Nature’s Daughter. I may not be able to agree with her at this juncture in my life, but I’m touched to know that she does.

Tomorrow (hopefully): the other half of these thoughts…
