It's a fine day for a brainfart

Welcome to my blog! No one knows about this yet. Can you keep a secret? Good!

Today's special is hot, hazy and hellish, with a side of sidewalk-fried eggs.

Cognitive function is in a state of steady decline. It won't be long now, say the doctors.


There are certain small things that can suddenly make life worthwhile:

• an after-dinner mint cleverly consumed in the morning, for variation's sake.

• a surprise mint M&M that you find in your jacket pocket after 15 years.

• Creme de Menthe liqueur, especially if it's green.

And today's theme is (can you guess it?)...MINT!

Big green minty gusts are blowing out my ears. Please do excuse me! I am painfully aware of the social unacceptability of this situation.
