I\’ve got a little list, like Koko of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. I love Gilbert and Sullivan! Sir Arthur Sullivan composed delightful music; and as for Sir William Gilbert, he had a way with words if ever anyone did.

When I go grocery shopping, I\’ve got a little list; and if I didn\’t, I\’d forget half of what I needed to buy!

And then there\’s this kind of list. For some years I\’ve enjoyed making my own additions to such lists. Earlier ones that I saw did not include the item about using hand signals while walking along the sidewalk, an addition that I had made.

I can make this amendment, too: You\’re in the grocery store, pushing along a cart. You want to get past somebody, and instead of saying, \”Excuse me, please\” you\’re feeling around on the cart\’s handle for a bell to ring! Or you keep thinking you\’re wearing your bicycle helmet even when you aren\’t.

And this freakish one: you sit down on something that\’s not your bicycle\’s saddle, and are surprised that it doesn\’t feel like that saddle. It reminds me a little of something I read about Dick Button, I believe it was. One day, while not on the ice, he suddenly felt unsteady. He then realized that he felt more confident on ice skates than off!

Maybe we can add \”You\’d rather ride a bicycle across a frozen lake than walk around the lake\” to the list?
