My Likes and Dislikes
(Second Verse)
My first attempt at blogging was a dismal failure. I don’t know whether to blame it on software or my ineptness. If it was my fault, I have an excuse called senioritis with intermittent brain freezes and severe brain fogginess. As I have aged, rhythm has become my mantra and if my rhythm is missing; well, it’s not a pretty picture and you don’t want to be in close proximity because anything can and likely will happen. I fully expect that someday I will gargle with shampoo and wash my hair with Listermint. Most days, I shower first thing and I have a certain rhythm. It goes something like this: 1) brush my teeth; 2) get a mouthful of water and mix it with a small amount of Listermint; 3)gargle for at least 30 seconds (in obedience to Kim, my dental hygienist for many years) while shampooing my hair; 4) shave (usually only on Sundays and Wednesdays), 5) lather everywhere (I made sure before I entered the shower that there was ample soap – my wife uses the bar even when it is thin enough to see through); 6) rinse thoroughly; 7) shut the water off; and 8) dry thoroughly in accordance with my wife’s drying instructions which include drying over 50% of my body before exiting the shower so as to not get water on the tile bathroom floor. And you thought body hygiene was a simple task!
The danger comes if I miss any of the steps or rearrange them and this is always caused by thinking about something else while in the shower; hence, I try to put my brain in neutral while showering but while still trying to remember which direction to pull the razor across my face. Now that you understand my thought patterns while bathing, please let me revisit my likes and dislikes that were discussed on my very first ever blog (that blog is now in blog heaven or blog h---).
