UPDATE: I had not finished episode 2 when I wrote this below. This is not a plea for help. - But what a kicker as I listened to the end.

I am listening to S-Town and finding it, very much, a there but by the grace of god (with a healthy dose of Ed and Dr. Gary) go I attitude.
Towards the end of episode 2, I find myself ruefully listening to the quotes on sun-dials and thinking that I could have easily ended up like John.... I got lucky.
If you haven't listened, then this makes no sense. But I guess I wanted to reach out to anyone who might have.
Tedious, but Brief
