Playing into the answers

Last summer, I had the opportunity to meet a handful of new JoyBots in Portland. Gary, my friend, mentor and the artist, asked me to pick one for a picture and to answer the question it posed. I didn't hesitate to pick this JoyBot. Not for a second. But when I actually had to answer the question, I froze. And then I froze some more while my mind took over... "Where are your improv skills when you need them!? What's wrong with me!? Come 'on, come 'on... ok... go with the first thing that comes to mind. Why can't you come up with anything?! Hmmm, yea. Ok. Everywhere and anywhere. Everywhere and anywhere!?!? THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY!? Seriously? That was weak."
I was so hung up in judging the answer, I didn't see what was in the answer until now. Everywhere and anywhere. There is no limit. Live in the moment and you just might go everywhere and anywhere you want to. OK. I can do that. Let's play into it and see what happens ;-)
