Used to do these ‘word games’ so to speak, with my former neighbor and beer drinking buddy, Craig (pic at bttm.)
We should get together and laugh about how we can’t drink anymore (not beer, anyway). But we’ve both had this odd thing happen – let me know if it happens to you – where you have a thought or are saying something, and the same word is said at the same time, on the radio. I’ve had some weird ones.
One time I was driving in the rain, listening to Garry Meier. He was talking about something and a car turned right in front of me with a license plate that bore the same, rather unique word Garry had mentioned. I wrote him about it and he even said weird things like that have happened to him.
Craig and I used to call each other and go, “Holy Smokes, wait til you hear this one…” Well, wait til you hear this one.
This morning I was noodling on my Ibanez 12-fret, something I usually do every day when I get up. I was working out a progression – slow shuffle, gospel style F, Bb, Bdim, C7, Gm, F. Right as I was playing the Bdim, someone’s car alarm goes off – and I kind of freak out, because IT’S THE SAME NOTES I WAS PLAYING! B and F.
There’s probably a song there – but it was weird. Will have to buzz Craig and see if he’ll read the blog.
But I digress…since I can’t drink coffee anymore because of UT problems (what a plague to older men), my morning drink of choice these days is either Peppermint or Chamomile tea, in cold, filered water. I keep it going all day.
Photo at the top – from this morning, playing my Mustang a lot lately. The smaller scale suits my arthritis, and the Mustang is hot-rodded!
Always take “synchros”seriously.If you don’t get it in the moment sometimes it arrives later for u to remember:)
Nice pics, Randy. You’re looking well, Sir. I’ve many instances whereby I’ll say a word that is uncommon and hear it on the radio either in the same minute, or a few minutes later. Another oddity for me, I thinking of an old song while listening to a station that plays usually current charts and throws in an oldie but a goodie now and then. I remember thinking about an oldie, and it is the next song the DJ plays. That too, is interesting. Peppermint; Gee uses this always as a lotion and wow, is it strong? Very strong scent her peppermint lotion. Nice post Sir.
