Alas, I am apparently more of a space cadet than you are, because I couldn't manage to keep my guard UP...I was scribing at a dressage show, (which means writing down all the judges comments as someone rode a test) for a judge I really liked, but I'd be watching each horse on the way into the arena, just off in "what a cutie" land, and so when she'd blow her whistle to signal it was OK to start the test, I'd be startled. Now, I have a BIG startle reflex, as you might guess, so I'd jump a bit every time. And then relax -- just in time for her to poke me in the ribs... After a couple of rides, I could tell she was waiting for me to get distracted by the horse before blowing the whistle, too.
Fortunately, though, I really liked her. Just adored her, in fact -- my absolute favorite of all the judges I ever scribed for...
Ah, mem'ries...
