Thank you Doug - I appreciate the many opportunities the reader has to relate to their own thinking. Through some of the experiences you tell us about, I begin to think of how you likely changed over time. As each later experience happens you might have come to the point of asking yourself "Well, I wonder how I get out of this one?" (Not even considering if you would or not) Knowing that you are immortal certainly lends a new perspective. And a time traveler? - One never knows if time travel has to be a physical thing versus an adventure in the mind. After all, the early sci-fi writers possibly were where they spoke about before they wrote about their experience. Intriguing in my opinion, and thank you again for putting it in words........Zidor
