"How are you," is one of those loaded questions I never know how to answer.

Is it part of a greeting? Do you genuinely want to know? Do I lie and keep the peace, or do I open up and bring you down?

Anyway, I'm doing fine, how are you?

"I'm alive" is an appropriately ambiguous answer, imo.

Good, good, how about you?
