Barb’s Burblings

In the movie Singin’ in the Rain, Gene Kelly plays a silent movie actor. There’s a scene of him kissing his costar’s arm, traveling up the arm and saying, simply, “I love you,” over and over. That’s fine in silent movies, he finds, but it doesn’t work so well in the talkies.
I discovered that my mind does something similar when I’m cold. Lately, there have been days when I walk outside and my brain goes into this mode where the only thing I can think is “Coldcoldcoldcoldcoldcold.”
