There is the theory that every person can be linked to every other person in the world by only six steps. While I don't know how true this is, I DO know that my mind can usually take me from one subject to another completely unrelated one in about six steps--and I do it ALL of the time.
The other night while in the shower, I found myself thinking about the blood orange I had eaten earlier. And as is my regular way of doing things, my mind went wandering on its own for a few seconds and the next thing I realized was that I was thinking about my first love. WTF?!?!?!?! So I decided to figure out HOW I got from blood oranges to a guy I think about very, very rarely. And this is what I came up with:
Blood oranges-------->Florida-------->The South-------->South Carolina-------->The Navy-------->Military/Air Force-------->First Love (who was in the Air Force when we got together)
I discussed this with The Oldest and she said she is exactly like this--and her husband can't comprehend how anyone's brain works like this. He said she is like a computer with multiple processors that work at the same time. I guess that is as good of an explanation as any. I'm not sure if this is unique to only certain people or is this a 'woman thing?' Does anyone have thoughts?
