Flip a coin…..

“Don’t you set down on the steps

’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard"

—Langston Hughes

Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Go back to where you were when you decided to go upstairs – nine times out of ten it was something there you saw that reminded you of something upstairs you wanted or needed to do

People who live in single story houses don’t have that problem ;-)

I hope that he does not think too hard and hurt his head.

I just keep going and it comes to me when I get there and see the target terrain.

“While you’re thinking, can you put the laundry away for me?”

Got 14 steps going upstairs. I know how he feels. Sometime I gotta fight the dogs going up (not really, but it can get busy)!

Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit.

There isn’t any other stair quite like it.

I’m not at the bottom, I’m not at the top.

So this is the stair where I always stop.

7 steps is more than half way. Go up!

Ever hear the song ‘Halfway Down the Stairs’?

I hate when that happens.

I will think, I need to go to the bathroom to get my meds and then say while I’m here I might as well recycle some coffee, trim that rouge mustache hair that curls up into my nose, go back to the living room and then say I forgot MY MEDS!

Ralph, you’re not old enough for that, yet!

Is this a half-way house?

Hopefully they won’t have a fire. Ralph would be killed cause he wouldn’t know what to do.

In a 40 story skyscraper would that mean stopping the elevator at the 20th floor?

It has been scientifically proven that passing through a doorway makes you forget things….true…google it!
