What?

It was muey importante.

What?

 Now what was that I was going to say again? 

Or was it something I was going to do?

 I swear, I can't remember.

It was real important, I'm sure of it.

Or was it?

 Oh, I know, feed the cat before it starves to death.

No, that wasn't it. 

Haven't had a cat for more than ten years.

 It died shortly after I ran over it.

Or was that my dog?

I have some fish, but their OK.

They eat algae.

My brain is like algae.

Did I have a purpose for starting this writing?

What was it?

WHAT?

Gotta love having fish that take care of themselves. :)

Take heart, such lapses are not the preserve of the older and wiser among us. I frequently have the same kind of blank spot.

Love the humour in this, and such a shame about the cat, or was it the dog? :))

You're singin' my song, not-so-young fellow. I'm thinking a young, 50-year-old hot chick might make me feel young again. Either that, or she'd stop me from aging anymore by sending me to my grave. What about you, ya got any ideas? Gotta run--they're serving tacos at the senior citizen's center.

heh, all the dang time. Who knew truth could be so fun?? In Montana the question that drives me nuts and I can't stop asking it, is WHY? there's no real answer and if someone tries to explain it, your head explodes. So not as much fun a the what so well illustrated here. Good stuff.

Thanks for the review. Oh yes, the Whys are the worst. Sometimes you actually have to answer.
Not being able to come up with the right answer to a why question cost me a relationship with a wonderful girl. That's life.
