In the realm of light topics, I press on.
It appears I have wandered into a memory
fog recently, forgetting basic details, such as setting the alarm for the
correct time and stopping for gas. It would be bad enough if the
regrettable consequences only impacted me, but it seems I am to be humbled by public acknowledgement of these temporary lapses in judgment.
Meaning the alarm was meant to wake my husband for an important meeting and the passenger in the car was a friend who is prone to epileptic seizures when stressed.
This is also bad news for someone who attempts to contribute to the household treasury by attending to the myriad of small business details involving a staff of
two dozen intelligencios. (Such as creme de la creme emory and ga tech whippersnappers.)
So it was with hungry interest, I was drawn to today's yahoo headline
about the amazing effects of vegetables on mental agility.
And just as I was about to be sucked into this conundrum, I suddenly remembered (hurray, I remembered something) that spinach had recently been recalled nationwide.
And what veggie do you think the punsters were touting to wise us up?
Uh-huh--that one.
Let me try to connect the dirty dots--there's a direct effect on the greenbacks in
spinach producers wallets due to the decrease of vegetable consumption
resulting in duller brains everywhere.
If that doesn't deserve our immediate attention, I don't know what does.
Enough of that depression.
So you know how irksome it is to try to locate a word
you cannot spell in the dictionary?
If you will pretend to write yourself an email, punching in that word,
phonetically, of course, as good readers are taught; then click the spell check,
voila! you will now know where to find the word in webster's.
Try to remember to delete the email, otherwise you will be a prime candidate
for ordering the veggie plate.
