    Starbucks perhaps?

    I do engage in omphaloskepsis as I contemplate the infinite and try to square it with a finite universe. Can't help myself. But not to the point of ratiocination. I'm open to reasonable answers as I try to avoid being too self-absorbed in my own thinking. Just thought I'd share.
