When someone finds the time to ask me what I’m doing or where I’m going, I usually get a range of viewpoints. Most startlingly I have been approached a few times with “I think what you’re doing is really great!” or “Mmm, yeah there’s nothing wrong with that.”
For a few seconds I just gape and wonder what we’re talking about again….and wonder what we’re talking about again …. and wonder wha-
