@pete-puma: Cracking up over your half-sentences! 
I’m sometimes amazed over how long after I’ve misspoken that the realization comes along. Like a full one minute, two minutes later –
– BING! Hey, I think I said North Dakota instead of North Carolina!….Did anybody notice? And then I have to ask out loud what I said, which feels pretty stoooopid.
So I’m sort of the opposite of the fast-thinking type; there’s a “processing-please-wait” that seems to be chronic with me. I suspect my brain has compensated for a missing pathway here and there with some really long, circuitous, through-the-woods trails: “Left hemisphere: Ten miles, be sure to follow the blue blazes on the trees.” But the thought does arrive eventually!
