A journey is the trip after you've lost you're luggage.—Anonymous (quoted by William Bridges)

This winter marks the official beginning of a book I have decided to write which will explain my approach to work search to the world. For weeks, I’d been trying to come up with an outline that satisfied me, but without success.

I’d been telling myself that I could get it done—scratch it off the list!—if only I had a large block of unstructured time.

A workshop in Chicago, conducted by a mentor of mine, William Bridges, would provide the perfect opportunity: rather than fly out, I booked a sleeper on Amtrak’s Lake Shore Limited, because there is absolutely nothing like long-distance train travel for providing large blocks of unstructured time.
