The Lost Idea:

Is there a lost and found department for lost ideas? Is it open on weekends? Bishop and Muriel were grocery store proprietor's. On one of those rare occasions when they could get out of the store for a brief respite, comfortably knowing that their checker Carla and their butcher Terry, and their extremely capable box boy, yours truly were there to take care of things in their absence. Bishop and Muriel decided to go for a long walk and try to come up with ideas on how they could make their grocery store more profitable, while giving better service to their customers. At first their ideas didn't seem to be connecting very well. If one would like it, the other showed little or no enthusiasm for it. Then virtually out of nowhere, an idea came forth. One they mutually perceived to be a capital idea. Fortunately, it happened to be one they both agreed upon. "A new neon sign that we keep lit 24 hours a day, so even when we're closed people that drive by will be reminded that this is the place for quality groceries at good prices." Bishop commented while he glowed with the possibilities.

Mariel responded. "You know I was just thinking the very same thing, and that must be because we have spent so much of our lives, living and working together. We often imagine the same things at the same time."

The following day, all of a sudden their great idea lost some of its glow and appeal. They both woke up thinking about the cost of that new sign. The fact it was going to be using electricity 24-hours a day, seven days a week, that would be costly. Those shared thoughts quickly became mutually agreed upon, maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all.

Great ideas always seem…
