I'm with LB. I can't play the what if game. That way lies madness.

I try really hard to live in my present, with an occasional glance towards the future, and an occasional story about the past.

Per somebody, there are an infinite number of universes, where every "other" response in your life is played out. So this means, somewhere in the multiverse you're seeing lots and lots of glass unicorns. So for me? Somewhere it happened/is happening.

On the other hand, this universe will never ever see me as a politico. Small mercies, eh?
