Conversations often go off on rabbit trails. You can go from Fishing to Lakes to Swimming to Sunburn to Bugspray to Spiders, etc. Sometimes you can find your own rabbit trails. This is the Wikipedia game. You start with thinking of a page you have to get to. Mine will be "Spades" since that's what game is being played right now. You have to start by clicking "Random Article" and get to "spades" by only clicking on links. I'll record my rabbit trail for you.

Conversations are similar. It keeps the conversations interesting, but a rabbit trail isn't always a good thing. It can be very distracting, and I for one am very prone for forgetting what I'm supposed to be talking about. I do it in my blogs too. The other day I randomly remembered my netflix, and was supposed to fix it. I didn't fix for a few days still because I forgot again. But don't worry, its in the mail and on its way to Madison. See, there was another Rabbit Trail!! I wonder who came up with the term rabbit trail. Some hunter who was tracking a different animal trail and kept coming upon rabbit trails and they got him so lost he didn't know where he had started and just kept finding more and more rabbit trails??!!! Probably not. But its a theory. Speaking of which, I think my dad and grandpa got lost today in the woods. Surprise, surprise. Can't send them anywhere by themselves, can we? Guess I'll let you know where they ended up,if they ever return to tell the tale!
By the way, did know that this document has 300ish words in it? How Neat is That?!
