I forgot what?

It’s happened to a lot of people, maybe even you.

Over the years, people get ready for work and forget their phone.

Once in a great while they might forget to brush their teeth or put on deodorant.

Mine on Monday may take the cake, however.

Now in my Golden Years, I’m a lot more likely to be cold than hot and sweaty.

Monday morning I was in the usual routine preparing to head down to the pad and pencil.

After showering I was getting dressed and I noticed the back of my neck was wetter than usual.

As I finished putting on my shirt I had what I thought was  sweat running down my cheeks and my forehead was as damp as the washcloth I used.

Still not having any idea what was really going on.

Anyway, I finished getting ready, brushed my hair and headed down to the newspaper.

When Gracie walked in and said, “New do?” it dawned on me what I had failed to do.

I hadn’t toweled off my head  when I got out of the shower and it was wetter than sop.

Made a lot more sense than me breaking out in a sweat.

I was thinking at the time, I’m glad my head is attached, otherwise I might have forgotten to bring it as well.

Additional rain is predicted for Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid-to-high 70s.

Sure is nice to finally have some fall weather and have the triple digits in the rearview mirror.
