I had an idea for a topic to write about earlier this afternoon. It was funny, timely, witty and the perfect thing to write about.
Damned if I can remember what it is now.
I hate it when I have brain farts like that. I’ve noticed that they happen more often now that I’m “getting up there in years”. Not all the time, or anything. Maybe once a week or so.
There’s the old joke about some senior citizen walking from one room to another, then forgetting why they are there. I’m not that bad.
Usually it is some thought that goes through my head that I figure “I’ll remember that” but then when it gets to be later, I’ve forgotten it.
I need to start carrying a notebook and a writing implement to write things down so I can keep track of them. I’ve done that all my life, but usually I write things down on random scraps of paper, which clutters up my desktop. A notebook would help with the clutter part at least.
I do purge the random pieces of paper once they’ve served their purpose. Like if I write down a doctor’s appointment for the wife, once it passes I’ll toss the paper. Other things, like funny quotes, get put into a digital file or a large notebook, but that may take a while to happen. But after I transfer the quote, the paper gets trashed.
Anyway, if I think of what I was going to write about this evening but forgot, I’ll make a note of it so I can write about it at some point in the future.
