Quick

I have ten minutes til the bus gets here.  I can’t tell if it’s going to be a hot day or a cool one.  I will either be over dressed or under dressed. I will likely be late for something.  I will certainly spill ketchup on my shirt.  I will track dog waste into the conference room.  I will press the wrong buttons on the elevator.  I will get lost in an ordinary neighborhood.  I will sing all day under my breath that old standard: "Eating Goober Peas".  I really did wake up this morning with that song in mind.  I was dreaming about that song.  I was trying to sing it in my sleep.  Thank God for the Unconscious!

Here I go…
