Two weeks ago, I decided to go see the Fountain of Time as part of my Explore and Create 2009 theme. Without being too specific, I live nowhere near the Fountain, so this was a bit of trip. I decided that as long as I was in the area, I’d also have a look around The Museum of Science and Industry.

I didn’t have my digital camera handy, so I picked up a disposable from a store on the way. Just as I arrived, it started to rain, and I quickly snapped a few pictures of the sculptures and headed back to the bus stop.

At this point, I made a terrible, terrible mistake. I noticed a statue about four or five blocks east and decided “it’s on the way — I’ll take some pictures of that too, and then just walk to the museum.”

Google puts this at, roughly, a two mile walk. When I got to the museum, it was just before closing time, so rather than pay a bunch of money to spend very little time there, I just took another bus back toward home, swearing to myself that I would put more planning into this sort of thing in the future, and to remember that location matters…

TO BE CONTINUED.

(And: categorizing this in “Time Management” is not a joke or a mistake)
