The other day, Conrad and I were resting - quiet time - in my old bedroom at my parent's farm. He was shifting his gaze between a pineapple-like finial on one of the bed's four posts and the dark mahogany mirror beyond it, fascinated by the contrast between these shapes and the wall. Well, my mind was wandering yet going nowhere, when all of a sudden thoughts of shapes, outlines and silhouettes lead me to remember a brain teasing puzzle that had vexed my family for a few years. Suddenly, and bizarrely, the method of solving the puzzle was clear to me! I had to find that puzzle and try my luck.
I found the puzzle, still in my old closet. I took the pieces from the box and within a minute replaced them to form the silhouette of the elusive rabbit!
I'm still not sure how that happened. Why did my brain choose that moment to work with such clarity for something so irrelevant and long forgotten, yet this blog will probably have ten misspellings and be littered with sentence fragments.
Oh well. When a problem is solved, I shouldn't complain!
