basil has run out of thyme

What a title, thanks mrs canadian composer. I so miss our chats, it seems our world is completely out of sync at the moment. I guess all the cogs will realign eventually. I've been having some really odd thoughts and feelings about my own mortality and age lately, feelings of not having accomplished enough, time running out. Perhaps it's an age thing that happens, at this age, no one I know talks about it, most of my friends are significantly older and a few younger than me. Is it a terrible secret?...! Having an overdue holiday was both a good thing and a bad thing. I think I had so long without switching off my mind, when I finally got the chance I didn't enjoy the vacuum and filled it with some very dark matter. Conclusion is switch off regularly for short periods, clear the circuits before they get too clogged.
