Re: something rotten in the state of Denmark

Hi All,

I return after successful machine surgery to find out I was wrong.

There are, apparently, at least two choices when you get old. Begin
wondering aloud whether what you've done has "mattered" or "made any
difference" -- or simply dissolve into a shallow sea of glibness.

Well, perhaps the latter is more stoic. But it's still sad.

PS: Again, the question is a silly one. Whatever "it" is, it has usually
mattered to those for whom it has mattered. It has made a difference for
those who have cared about it or have used it or shared it with others in
some way. It has not made a difference or, quite properly, mattered at all
for those who haven't. So what? Of course, I'm still not convinced that
human existence itself has "mattered" or "made a difference," so I'm probably
the wrong person to ask.
