welcome to my world
Last night, as I was lying in bed, preparing to drop off to sleep, I had the BEST idea for a post! It was great! I was all but writing in my head as I lay there, listening to the humidifier and the traffic outside our (open) window. It was a compare-and-contrast type post, talking about two things and which was better or worse and why. It was witty, timely, interesting, and I was really getting into the idea.
Of course, I remember none of it this morning.
This despite thinking to myself, “I’m not going to remember any of this in the morning. I’d better repeat those two things that this post is about to myself, several times, like I do when I’m learning someone’s name, so they are committed to my memory.”
Needless to say, the repeating it to myself thing didn’t work. It’s OK. I need to be writing something else this morning anyway. (Um, notably, that something is not this post. Hee!)

His dad was my Contracts professor.
Was this posted on the wrong entry? Do you mean (gasp!) Bradley Whitford’s pop was your K prof? That rocks.
You should keep a notepad by your bed.
That’s a thought, Igots, but I can’t write in the dark and turning the light on would probably wake up Mr. Angst.
That happens to me all of the time! It’s so frustrating…
I bet it will come back to you again, when you least expect it. Maybe when you’re in the middle of a yoga pose!
