Last night I decided to go to the Draper Temple. I like to do sessions in temples that I haven't been to before. I printed my mapquest directions and drove straight to the temple from work in about half an hour. Not a single wrong turn! However, and this will not come as a surprise to anyone who has ever been a passenger in my car, I was not so lucky on the way home. I got a little turned around leaving the temple. And by "a little turned around" I mean that I spent the next 30 or 45 minutes on a scenic night-lights tour of Draper, Sandy and possibly South Jordan. At one point, I was waiting to enter a round-a-bout and I just started laughing. I had no idea where I was, or what direction I wanted to be going. Any one of my six options in the round-a-bout was absolutely the same to me. North, south, east, west - I didn't have an idea what was what by that point.
So I was a little frustrated by my infamous "creative navigation" driving technique last night, but I did manage to (eventually) find the freeway. I didn't even have to use a lifeline to phone a friend and make a panicky phone call to get directions from my Dad. I'll count that as a small victory.
