In response to last
week’s question, "Is a clear conscience the sign of a bad memory?",
my product management friend and father of two, Doug advised, "No one
makes it through their college or early parenting years with a “Clear
Conscience.” I wouldn’t call it bad memory, but it’s certainly “Selective
Memory”. (By the way, as every married man knows, a “Selective Memory”
can be an invaluable survival tool.)
My dad's beach buddy
Bob P countered, "No, It is a sign of a convenient memory!" To
this, my birthday bud Jon suggested, "Or a boring life."
My improv friend Bruce
quipped, "I forgot what you just asked." My IT friend Kosol
continued, "A clear conscience is actually the sign of...wait, I forgot
what I was writing about." And my social media friend Mark added, "If
that were true, and I had a clear conscience, I would not remember that I did.
So in all honesty, I have no answer for you. That I can remember anyway."
My cycling friend Ted
replied, "Yes--For the Devil and certain politicians!"
Please share your
thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
What do you have when you get tired of thinking?
Life is too
short for drama and petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly,
and forgive quickly.

to "Why do pajama bottoms have pockets?" From my DISH friend
and new mom, Kendra who wrote, "Excited to read peoples thoughts on “why
pajama bottoms have pockets?” J I have also wondered the same thing about
infant pajamas. J "
