I had no ideas at all for this Challenge, as usual. Then, I thought of a story my brother tells about the locks of an old car he used to have. I was going to write it up, with a spin toward it inspiring an urban legend, until I realized that I should stick to telling my own stories. This roadblock, however, got my mind to hop from my brother's story to the 'smart-key' feature of my brother-in-law's new car. Presto!
So, my lesson this week is that so long as I keep thinking about how I don't have any good ideas, some association will fire and I'll hit upon a good-enough idea (even though my brother's real story was better).
