Ramblings of an aimless mind

Why is it that I have all these wonderful revelations in the shower? The feeling of the water hitting me, the steam and warmth, that great relaxing feeling and BAM!! I'm inundated by all these thoughts... they're usually not-too-terribly random, having to do with some conundrum I've been pondering of late--I have great ideas, solutions, innovations...

I get out of the shower, towel off, finish my morning routine, and when I finally get to a place I have a moment to jot down my mental meanderings...nada. I don't remember what the hell I was thinking about, what it was that seemed so clear and obvious while I was in the shower.

Is it delusional thinking? I just *think* I'm having wonderous thoughts that are worth a damn? Or do I really have them and I'm just a complete dork and forget everything by the time I can get to writing them down?

I know, I know; keep something to write with and on near the shower. But soggy paper usually turns out to be illegible.

I've finally figured out how to start some sort of unofficial mentoring of students here. Great--I'll have less than 6 months of opportunity; but I'm hoping at least it will give me a chance to try out some ideas and iron out the kinks to prepare for putting those ideas into practice when I start the next chapter of my life.

Blinker! Blinker!! Left turn in the train of thought!!

I'm feeling like I'm a caterpillar, quickly headed to crysalis form... The only drawback is, I think I'll be a caterpillar still when I come out of my transformation phase. Not much of a transformation at all... I know where/what I want to be, I just can't figure out the path to get there.

Random fond memory du jour: "Bring on the men." (I'm hoping for mental transportation with this upcoming show...).
