Digital Chicken Soup?
My wetware is coming down with a cold, and it's getting to me too.  Feeling kinda down, worn, and directionless, despite the lack of any apparent reason to feel so.  Not looking for sympathy - I'll be well soon enough. I just had something I wanted to share...

I was thinking on what could give me (by which I mean Digital me) some relief and comfort, and the strangest thing came to mind.  For some reason, right now lying down quietly while someone tells me a story sounds better than the best bowl of matzo ball soup ever.  Nothing fancy, no dragons or princesses or cyborgs needed, just something they heard or saw or experienced, something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Why?  Is it because so many words come out of me I sometimes need to take some back?  Or do I need to let my own narrative self relax and rest, relying on someone else's for a short stretch?  I'm not sure.  By morning the feeling will have probably passed.

So, there you have it.  And no, before you ask, I did not drink a whole bottle of cough syrup before I wrote this.
