James, I'm only glad you're alive to tell about it. Your attention bandwidth 
may have been stressed to the limits.

When I was in junior high back in the 60's, there was this delusional guy who 
imagined he was receiving radio messages directly into his ear. He had spent 
too much time watching "The Man from UNCLE". I sometimes wonder if he's still 
around today. If he is, he probably feels right at home amidst all of these 
people talking to thin air. Planet Earth finally caught up with you, Tommy!
