Gnats

"You have the attention span of a gnat"


I heard that a lot growing up, and in my more senior years seriously wonder if gnats have attention spans, or even brains.


But there are these moments, when I set off on a mission to the basement that when I arrive, I am dumbfounded what I came for.  I look around, seeking clues, but a crowded basement makes things more confusing. And, trudging back upstairs to recall the mission is not fun any longer.


Happily, I have a couch and tv down there, so one can always pause until something mission-related finally resurfaces.


I DO have the attention span of a gnat.  There is a "span" in there.  There's always hope.
