cogito, ergo sum

     "Cogito ergo sum" is Latin for " I think, therefore I am". The quotation was supposedly in response to the question: "How do you know that you exist?"  Descartes replied, in part, that he thought, so he knew that he existed. One of the things he thought, was to wonder if he actually existed.
      To prove one's own existence is something of a classical philosophical exercise. Can you do it? Prove, logically, that you exist?
