BUT .... is the line btw "fiction" & "non-fiction" (what we used to call reality or life) all that clear anymore? Have you seen Reality shows? If I "rehearse" what I'm going to say to my boss, hire a writer, go way over the top, is that reality? There are so many shades btw fiction and non-fiction that the sharp line of demarcation wiggles around all the time, me thinks!

What is the reality of this board as a valid "real" experience in my life? For me, very real. But that discussion could go on for decades, probably, as science drives itself nuts defining its terms.

Okay. I'll shut up. But this is fun!
