Oh shoot. I spaced. Damn. I mean I completely forgot to blog today. I know that I said I was going to blog every day and I haven’t. But the days I didn’t were not because I forgot. Either I got busy, or I was blocked, or sometimes lazy. But today, shoot, today it just completely slipped my mind. I hate forgetting stuff. Especially important stuff.
I was in bed trying to go to sleep, blissfully ignorant of my memory lapse when I got a text from my friend Michele arranging to go to the Rockies game on Wednesday. She mentioned that she has three dogs, and how my dog poop blog put me on thin ice with her. Putting aside for a moment her culpability in the poop problem, I had a mental kick in the butt realizing that I had absolutely, completely suffered a brain cramp in not even thinking about writing today's blog. Or maybe worse than a brain cramp, maybe a brain pulled hamstring.
This sort of thing is my worst nightmare. I am terrified of losing my mental faculties as I get older. I know all of us on the wrong side of 50 start to forget things, but the idea of getting Alzheimer’s and forgetting everything keeps me up at night. Having read Michele’s text, I am now being kept up. So I decided I might as well do a quick blog. I know it is bad, just read it quickly, forgive the old guy for doing a bad one, and look forward to tomorrow’s blog which I would promise will be better, except I can’t promise I will remember to write one in the first place.
