Bunny and Viv: The Road to Cambridge, ( 1st tale )

So, here's the thing.....Bunny is a teacher. I am not referring to the fact that she has a natural ability and she loves to teach, which she does. I mean she actually gets paid to be a teacher! I must say that I have seen her in action and in my humble opinion she is a damn good one. But...here's the thing. The fact that we are over fifty means that our brains do not work just as we would like. Let me give you an example.

Phonetic pronunciation ( she is thinking )..."ka nives"....she repeats it over and over to herself as she is barreling down highway 13, firmly planted on the seat of her black 883 Harley Sportster. She just doesn't remember EVER seeing that word before! She looks again at the upcoming billboard. Yep, that is what it says she thinks to herself, "ka nives". She even says it out loud three or four times. What does it mean??? At this point, just before the billboard passes into her rear view mirrors forever, the impulse from her brain to LOOK at the picture finally reaches her eyeballs. The clue?????...A huge picture of a kitchen knife......"OHHHHhhhhhh.....KNIVES......

It would seem that sometimes Bunny lives in a crack, too!

WELCOME, my friend, WELCOME!

  1. Aahh-- Viv-- what can I say? This is how our minds work! I know you will allow me to say "our" because we have both experienced these perplexing moments when our brains just won't tell us what the hell is going on!
    As you well know, also, while riding the mind tends to think about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING! Except for the "Brain". His mind, as we are well aware, is an exception to the rule. More to come...

  2. ...I frequently sing the Jimmy Buffett song as I am riding--something like..."my mind started to wander in the middle of the second show, dreaming hours at sea just my baby and me...So much to think about and while trying hard to concentrate, this does happen. You know what I mean?
    There will be some more of these"blame it on 50-something" moments as we continue our travels.Stay tuned.
