If you noticed my conspicuous silence over the past couple weeks, it was because I went on a family vacation that was largely "unplugged." Just prior, I contributed a short post including a handful of facts regarding the amount of time we spend working during our lifetimes (101,568 hours, to be exact) with an equal number of questions posed to you. Through the blog comments, Tweets, Facebook mentions and emails in response, a number of very interesting thoughts were raised.
