How You Doin'?

One question that I don't like to answer these days is, "How are you doing?"  I've never been one to offer up much at that point. Probably because I'm never sure how I'm actually doing. I tend to assume that bad news is always lurking nearby. In response, I'll rarely say: "Great!!"  Nor will I respond with "Terrible." I'll generally reply with: "Doing ok," and let you decide what that means. 

If you want me to open up and share a bit more, ask if I've picked up any vinyl albums lately or if I've been out taking photos. You might never hear the end of it.
