Good girl, welcome to my world, a world where little details just pass you by, light switches, keys, glasses. such petty things are for boring people we have bigger things to think about.

Welcome to dementia! ...or not...

Dementia is not forgetting your keys.
Dementia is forgetting what the keys are for.

I used to live in Edgecumbe too! When I was at primary scool. I lived at 55 College Road, my dad was the minster in the Church next door.

OMG, you're *that* guy!

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talkin'
Is when Billy would take me walkin'
A' through the backyard we'd go walkin'
And then he'd look into my eyes
And lord knows to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
And can we get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh, yes he was

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we been growin'

And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man

Doesn't hurt to practice turning your reserve on and off when riding also.
Just in case it happens at a difficult spot.

I could never remember which was the reserve position and at one stage I attempted to climb the Bombays on reserve....I failed! It was a long and humiliating walk to the Caltex at the top on a hot day in full leathers Good way to learn a lesson though.
