I have a new friend whose mind works a lot like mine. In other words, we are both easily distracted and often guilty of slipping into squirrel mode at any given time. She is a professional writer, so I am a little bit in awe of her, but all of our conversations end up in a jumbled mess of tangents and non sequiturs that make absolutely no sense to anyone else in the vicinity. For the record, my children think we are idiots.
