Back in college, my friend Jeff made a list of what he called my “hare-brained schemes” (meaning: wild ideas I’ve tried):

- Panning for gold
- Starting a surf-wear manufacturing company
- Flying to Orcas Island in a small Cessna for a prom date
- Driving down the West Coast with a friend, a tent, and $100 to see what was there
- Using a sheet pan as the floor of my rusted out VW bug
Creativity and perhaps watching too many Wile E. Coyote cartoons? Pretty safe to say these were hare-brained schemes.
