Hi Roger,

I like your idea. I started my own list of possible titles to consider. Two of them are from Shakespeare but as segments of larger quotes do not work well like your suggestion does. I will gladly use it. If you want it back though, I will understand. Here is the list I was making. It sucked, so thanks.

Infinite Wisdom
Cogito, Ergo Sum
Never to Heaven Go
To Entertain a Thought
Search and Rescue
Fade to Black
The Itinerant
A Loose Itinerary
A Travelogue
A Question of Transience
Out of Mind
Rational Discourse
Dance of the Dendrites
Docking Station
Lightyears Away
Rescue Mission
A Matter of Gravity
But Thinking Makes It So
Off Course, Off Grid, Off Id
Before You Leap
All Thinks Big and Small
A Sucking Sound
The Void
The Vortex
Out of Orbit
Completing the Circuit
Boundaries
Pathways
Booking the Return Trip
