    Imagine what dreams she could have with full inversion therapy (aka “gravity boots”), so that her brain could benefit from her whole body’s blood supply.

    Touch your nose and blow your toes, dream your dreams and leave your schemes.

    Age, what’s age got to do with it?

    The real Col. Sanders was an entrepreneur who didn’t become a professional chef until he was 40, didn’t franchise Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was 62, and didn’t become an icon until after he sold his company at 75.

    She credits her longevity to her Special Sauce and to checking out that cute young stockbroker who moved in upstairs.

    it’s easy to touch your toes, as long as you’re sitting with your legs crossed

    …a beautiful and touching composition by Ms. Teresa Burritt today…

    …the juxtaposition of the faces and the leaves is very clever and touching…

    …like memories floating by on a stream…

    …as I age and my dreams seem less and more less likely to materialize…(even if I finish my novel, if I manage to type-edit-retype it…

    ….I have no idea of how or where to send it…

    …or if I could take the rejection…

    STOP!

    …just finish the #$@%! thing…

    …one goal at a time)…

    …to be exposed to the idea that even the fictionalized someone at 105 still dreaming big ideas is really encouraging…

    …kudos to Mz. Burritt…

    …not only is there a palathra of vision and ideas in today’s Frog Applause…

    … but also a cornucopia of inspiration…

    Deep Fat Fried Chicken Wings at Hooters? When the lady’s touch their toes and dribble like a 105 year old just becomes the patrons.

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    To get in front of the church for a photo op.

    Wherever you go … there you are …!

    Or, this: “Well sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn’t. Let’s go back to the tepee and eat my son. My newest snake wife cooks dog very well.” (Old Lodge Skins from Little Big Man)

    So, I’m at a coherent point outside of the astral plane and disconnected from space and time. It seems to be a stable standing wave created by a number of the surrounding consensus nodes. As near as I can tell, I need to accentuate the things I want to increase, and attenuate those I want to decrease, as a presence in my reality. It looks like I will only be able to select one aspect of the consensus nodes at a time for shifting between nodes. Now I’m not sure if I need to concentrate on increasing what’s good, or decreasing what’s bad. Things seem to be really tangled and interdependent. The coherent whole isn’t the sum of the fragments. It is something beyond them, a gestalt. Or maybe it’s a quantum packet and all I can see are probability wave forms. I am really glad that I cannot feel my head right now.

    Well, isn’t that nice!

    The touching of the toes may not be a regular qualification for opening a chicken wing joint, though. What is required is a sufficient bribe to insure getting an instant liquor license. The sweaty young masses gotta have their mugs of cold beer with their spicy chicken wings. —You could call it Grandma’s Hot Wings and Cold Mugs! and have karaoke every Wednesday night. And touch your toes as you introduce the semi-drunken singer-competitors….

    See? That’s how it’s done in Froglandia.
