The Meaning of Life

There's Monty Python bit with an interview where the interviewee has a "theory about the brontosaurus." There's a long lead-in, but ultimately her theory is, "All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle, and thin again at the other end."

I've decided that that's a good a theory of what life's about as any. Life is thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle, and thin again at the other end. So when my life seems too busy and overwhelming I can take some comfort in where I have been and where I (hopefully) will be.
