Dear Family and Friends,
I’m writing you to let you know that I have recently been diagnosed with a very serious condition and there’s no hope I will ever get over it. It may be hereditary as well.
The scientific world is frantically searching for a cure. This is an ailment many of us suffer from and may not as yet have been diagnosed.
However, now you may be able to discuss it with your loved ones and try to explain what really happened to you all those times you tried so hard to accomplish something and didn’t.
It’s called the “Butfirst Syndrome.”
Here is how it works:
It’s like when I decide to do the laundry – I start down the hall and notice the newspaper on the table.
Okay, I’m going to do the laundry – Butfirst I’m going to read the newspaper. After that, I notice the mail on the table.
Okay, I’ll just put the newspaper in the recycle stack, Butfirst I’ll look through that pile of mail and see if there are any bills to be paid. Now where’s the checkbook?
Oops! There’s the empty glass from yesterday on the coffee table. I’m going to look for that checkbook, Butfirst I need to put that glass in the sink. I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice my poor flowers need a drink of water. I put the glass in the sink, and darn it, there’s the remote for the TV on the kitchen counter. What’s it doing here? I’ll just put it away…
Butfirst I need to water those plants. Head for door and Ack! Stepped on the dog. Dog needs to be fed. Okay, I’ll put that remote away and water the plants. Butfirst I need to feed the dog!
Wait a minute…I don’t have a dog. What IS that lump of furry stuff on the floor? I’ll have to figure that out, Butfirst I need to make an eye appointment for new contact lenses.
At the end of the day: Laundry is not done, newspapers are still on the floor, glass is still in the sink, bills are unpaid, checkbook is still missing, and the dog ate the remote control.
AND, when I try to figure out how come nothing got done all day, I’m baffled, because I KNOW I was BUSY ALL DAY!
I realize this condition is serious - - and I should get help, Butfirst I think I’ll read all my E-mail and update my website!
Well, I’ve pretty much taken down my website. This page exists for the sole purpose of being reference point and a means to contact me.
See you in cyberspace…
Don Alan
