I was riding my bicycle

Really fast trying to get up a hill and then all of a sudden I wasn’t! I am 70 years old but I still try to get out and ride my bike as often as I can. Fortunately around my town they have a lot of paths that are off-road so I don’t have to compete with traffic. Unfortunately, as I was completing my bike ride, I drove through a local university campus. For some reason they had a couple of large cones or pylons and rope between them blocking off a crosswalk. It was too late for me to see the rope and I barely had time to hit my brakes.

I spent most of Sunday at the emergency room shortly thereafter. After a bunch of x-rays and CT scans no real damage but I’m not going to be moving my shoulder anytime soon.

I guess they never heard of caution tape!

Yes, for those interested in safety, I was wearing my helmet and safety gear.  I think it could have been a lot worse had I not had years of martial arts training. They teach you how to hit the ground and how to roll without getting hurt. It could have been a lot worse for a 70-year-old man!

Frankly I forgot about this one. I like the chorus. There are some good phrases and concepts here. I understand why it never became a song. Maybe I will get it back out and use some of it for a song in the next decade or so.

A lyrical mirage in a number of ways. As I get older, my dependence on force of habit to get me thought most actions and projects is starting to show its weakness. Simple routines are no interrupted by a ‘memory misdirect’. I am thinking about picking up my tea cup, but instead I pick up the jar of honey next to it. I started calling these events ‘miss-fires’. They are harmless now, but I imagine it could wind up serious one day.

Have you ever broken a bone?

None that I am willing to admit to, and you can’t prove it……

Leader or follower

Are you a leader or a follower?

If there is no leader, I will lead. 

If there is a good plan I can be a follower.

From the other side of a break-up, nothing seems to make sense. The first question is, ‘why’, but it is only the beginning no matter what the answer was. One day you are thinking you have this life in the bag, but as soon as they leave you, you won’t have time to fasten your seat belt.

Just another day bouncing ideas inside the mind of a person with split personality disorder. Progress by committee.
