Hmph.  A moment ago my head was swirling with all kinds of interesting things: evolution of conversation (one that involves strategic urine sniping and whispers of “you’re adopted”), being present and what does that mean, frost kissed branches, impromptu meetings with people I used to know.  For a brief glimmer I had all those things come together in my head and there was a connection between it all.  Honest.  Now, other than all these bits and pieces have been part of my day, I lost the one thought that pulled them together between the bottom of the stairs and the top.  I choose to blame multiple years of sleep deprivation for my mental hiccups.
