"SCATTERBRAINED" IS ONE OF THOSE WORDS YOU DON'T NEED TO LOOK UP TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS..
THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM AROUND HERE-- WE HAVE SO MANY BRIGHT CREATIVE PEOPLE THAT IDEAS FLOW PRETTY REGULARLY-UNFORTUNATELY THESE IDEAS PILE UP.. IN A PHYSICAL PILE ON MY DESK AND IN A REALLY CLUTTERED MESS BEHIND MY LEFT EAR. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HEAR THE EXACT WORDS " WHAT A GREAT IDEA, YOU COULD ALSO......"-- I HAVE BEGUN TO STOP PEOPLE RIGHT THERE... IT IS THAT "YOU COULD" THAT'S WRONG !!!! I CAN NOT POSSIBLY DO ALL THE THINGS IN THOSE "YOU COULD" STATEMENTS I HEAR EVERY DAY.....
DELEGATE ? OK... I CAN DO THAT... WE WIL HAVE A REALLY GOOD IDEA "A" ----- I WILL PRESENT IT TO PERSON XXXX- AND I CAN GUARENTEE WITH IN SECONDS XXXX WILL BE TELLING METHEY CAN DO IT.. AND ALSO THEY CAN EXPAND THE CONCEPT ALL THE WAY FROM L-M-N-O TO X-Y-Z -- CONSEQUESNTLY "A" NEVER GETS DONE..... EVEN THO THEY REALLY INTENDED TO DO IT. I AM AS GUILTY AS ANY... MAYBE IT IS THE UNIVERSE AND NOT JUST US...
I CAN GIVE YOU A PERFECT EXAMPLE--- WHITH WHICH I AM SURE YOU ARE FAMILIAR-- EVER TRIED TO CATCH ONE CHICKEN OUT OF A BUNCH? ALL OF S SUDDEN THERE IS GREAT RUNNING AND FLAPPING, YOU SHOVE YOUR HAND IN THE CACOPHONY, GRAB, AND COME UP EMPTY. MOMMY NATURE HAS ALL THAT FIGURED OUT... ---CONFUSION PROVIDES THE ESCAPE.
WELL- PEOPLE HAVE THAT DOWN PAT TOO.
THERE IS GREAT NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET AROUND THE RUNNING AND FLAPPING STAGE OF A NEW IDEA ... IT BEFUDDLES ME.
THAT KISS..( KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID)-YESTERDAY ALONE THERE MUST HAVE BEEN 1076 EXAPMPLES-- MOST OF THEM TO DO WITH THE WINDOWS IN THE BUILDING... BUT ALSO THE SIMPLE GIVING A ROLL OF LIFE SAVERS TO THE COP STANDING WATCH OVER SOME CONSTRUCTION SITE..... WE DO HAVE A "FLYER'" DESCRIBING THE CAKE BIT FOR FIREMEN...... AND SOME THOUGHT SOME EXPLINATION OF THIS RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS....WITH THE LIFESAVERS. WOULD LET THE COP KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM..AN INTERESTING IDEA... MY THOUGHT WAS TO CREATE A CONVERSSATION LIKE " THE DARNDEST THING HAPPENED TODAY- SOMEBODY GAVE ME LIFESAVERS OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY" AS OPPOSED TO HAVING A PAPER EXPLAIN A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS- ADDING THE PAPER MAKES IT LESS RANDOM IN MY MIND...
THE CAKE BIT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT-- FIRSTLY YOU ARE DELIVERING IT TO THE SATTION WHERE THEY CAN PHYSICALLY COPE WITH THE POSTER EXPLAINING THE CAKE ON THE 19TH.. TO GIVE A PIECE OF PAPER TO THE COP ON THE BEAT BECOMES TRASH- WITH NO TRASH CAN NEARBY....
*****
ANNE AND I ARE STRUGGLING TO GET THE ONE PIECE OF PAPER INTRO- DOWN PAT-- AND WE CERTAINLY GET IDEAS "WE COULD...." THAT ARE HOLDING US UP... NOT REALLY A FLYER-- BUT NEITHER THE POKER CHIP NOR THE BUSINESS CARD ARE INFORMATONAL ENOUGH.
*****
INGRID ( OF DISNEY AND ALL THESE BLANKETS FAME) IS HERE IN TH E GUEST HOUSE-- SOON TO BE JOINED BY 3 COLLEGE FRIENDS WHO PROMISE TO COOK REAL FOOD NEXT WEEK...
SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLAN... AND SHE IS A WORKER-- GRABBED A BROOM AND GOT AT IT RIGHT AWAY.
SHE HAD BEEN WARNED-- THIS IS NOT A RELAXING SPA WITH A TANNING BOOTH...
BLESS OUR VOLUNTEERS...IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT WITHOUT THEM..
THE FLOORS MIGHT NEVER GET SWEPT.
*****
ANOTHER THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
IF THERE IS A PILL FOR PAIN, WHY IS THERE NO PILL FOR ITCH?
AND BOY DO I WISH THAT COULD BE...
****
I GOT UP TO A FLASH FLOOD WARNING ON THIS THING I CALL MY PHONE... ?FLOOD WARNING??? I HOPE IT KNOCKED OVER THAT SIGN ONTHE STREET ABOUT "SHOWER WITH FRIENDS"

AND SO IT GOES...
