I’ve sat down to write up a post. A cup of tea is steaming away on my computer desk along with my can of mixed nuts sitting beside it just in case I need a quick snack (got to have that protein in order to write you know). My chair is adjusted properly, the room is at just the right temperature and the cats are nowhere to be found (probably on the bed trying to push my wife’s legs into unnatural positions–you know how cats are). In other words, every thing is set for writing up a lovely late evening post and…

…my mind has suddenly and completely gone blank.

I had this wonderful idea for a post and I seem to have lost it. I know I had it when I was downstairs beating the bed into submission for tonight’s sleeping activities but I seem to have lost it between then and now. Thinking about it though I may have lost it when one of the cats, who was obviously lying in wait for me, ran through my legs while I was climbing the stairs. Yeah, that’s most likely it. I dropped the thing as I stumbled over the cat and she took off with it. Probably has it under the couch by now and I do my best not to reach underneath the couch unless I absolutely have to. It’s dangerous you know.

So I sincerely apologize to all those who came here looking for another thought provoking post and found this instead. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll take a sweep under the couch with an old yardstick and see if I can fish out that idea I had. If I find it I’ll immediately sit down and write it before it gets lost again.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
