A: We’re baaack! Q & A together again at last like the Comedy Team we all love so much.
Q: Are you trying to be funny?
A: Maybe. But if not, then not.
Q: So can I ask a question now?
A: Of course. Anytime. And you don’t have to ask if you can ask. Just ask. And I notice you’ve given me the lead as if the Answer takes control.
Q: You’ve noticed? So what do you want to Answer today?
A: See, told you, you’re giving me the choice. I’ll pick something that’s on Our Mind. As you know, of course you do, Teaching is always on My/Our Mind, but I/We’ve done a lot of that, Teaching and Thinking About Teaching, and I/We’ll always come back to it, so maybe another not light topic, maybe philosophy, or ontology, any preferred ology…

A: Probably not.
Q: But worth a try?
A: Probably. Maybe. I can always switch gears, get off the track, run away…

Q: Like running around in a circle?
A: Yes. Partly. And once you start…Like it or not…And maybe the only way out is just to go to sleep. Or get dressed and go outside and sit in the actual sun…
Q: You mean go outside, like outside yourself? Get out of yourself…?
A: Yes, of course. Because going around in circles, as you’ve already alluded to, is keeping you in two dimensions, and upgrading to three gives the option of spiraling down a diminishing cone to an eventual end like the black hole of a period which we already know may stop but not necessarily be final and…
Q: Are you stalling? Was it too soon to try again?
A: I’m beginning to think so.
Q: So should we just get together and just look ahead to another change subject blog and give the reader if there is one Are you there? a bit of the relief we all need especially now and say…?
Q & A: Next? !
