Things to think about:

What am I really aiming at?
How good am I really in comparison to my contemporaries in regard to:

(b) Do I really understand about people and am I able to get along with them?
(c) Am I trying to make my body a useful instrument or am I neglecting it?

With dearest love,

Daddy

I worry about fat men with bad haircuts who might not be entirely sane. Of course, I suppose that's worrying about the future, in a way.

ARE YOU HACKING MY WEBCAM!!!!?

Only when you get undressed at night.
