Maybe I'm a bit like Socrates?

We also learn that on the way to the symposium Socrates suddenly became lost in thought. "This is one of his habits," Aristodemus says to Agathan. "Sometimes he goes off and stands still whereever he happens to be."

- Stephen Miller, Conversation: A History of a Declining Art, p. 41

I seem to recall Daryl bumping me into a grocery store at one point when I'd become somewhat lost in thought. Ah well, I suppose that you could do worse than being like Socrates.

Thinking is good. Causing accidents by thinking might not be so good. A healthy mix is probably best :p
