I write mostly at the dining room table. Currently there is a lantern in the middle of the table, sitting on a round light gray woven placemat. Since the table is dark, it is difficult for me to see items of the same color family if I set them on it. Instead I put things on the lighter mat so I can find them.
On this day I had placed a binder clip, a hair clip and a bottle cap on the mat. A bit later, I reached for the tortoise shell clip to put my hair up. Rather than making contact with that, however, I picked up the binder clip. Putting it back down, I grasped the hair clip. But it was the bottle cap. There was only one choice left and the third attempt was a winner. Amidst the methodical one at a time trial and error was an absurd humor. I had positioned the trio in a location I thought would enable me to see them, but I could not.
Finally, with my hair up, I screwed the cap back on the bottle and took the binder clip to join its brethren in our kitchen junk drawer. Because even when you have put a good plan in motion, there can still be a gray area.
