Off the rails

 

Every morning I look at this blank page.  Sometimes I just start typing, not knowing which direction I’m headed.  Once in a while, an idea grabs me during the night.  I reach my cell phone from the night table and leave myself a reminder, so in the morning I’ll remember what my great idea was.  By now you can tell, this was not one of those times.  No great idea and no direction.

This reminds me of the time I found myself in a strange city.  I had no clue where I was or what I wanted to do, so I jumped onto a passing trolley.  I figured I’d take a ride around town first, you know, just see what my options were.

Yep.  I still don't know.
