I recently traveled to San Francisco for some meetings and found myself with a half day to 36 .?My 37 : The 49ers’ first game?of the season, against the Green Bay Packers. The America’s Cup sailing races. Or I could get 38 .

After a terribly long?line at the car rental center, I was 39 . So I disappeared into the fog and clouds shrouding the Pacific Coast Highway and headed south with absolutely no 40 in mind. I drove through tunnels? 41 out of?the mountains and stopped at a few state beaches; at one, I watched a wedding out on the cliffs among the crashing 42 . Back in?the car, I drove toward San Gregorio, a town that you can easily 43 . I know because I drove right through it and 44 up on a narrow pine tree–bordered asphalt(柏油) road that felt like it would go on 45 .

A few people just moved around outside the San Gregorio General Store, talking about the motorcycles they've owned over the years. Inside, I found?a bar with regular customers, two people playing guitar together, and, of course, a full-on store. I 46 a song, took a seat quickly, and watched the guitarists play and dance. Then I congratulated them, 47 a couple of wrinkled dollars in their bucket, and walked back out into the world.

Then off they ran. And yes, I did. I ran.

The day could have been so 52 : being 53 into a stadium or bar half-watching sports. 54 this was much more rewarding. Hours prior, I was on a flight with the masses, going through the motions. Then I was out on my own, having an unexpected and unrepeatable experience.  I learned something on September 8: Don’t be 55 to get lost—on purpose or otherwise—and have zero expectations. It will be good for you. I promise.

Here’s how I tell it: “A nurse—her name is Joyce—feels a presence in the waiting room. She looks around but sees nothing. She jumps up from her desk, carefully replaces her chair, and runs down the lavender-hued hallway to the doctor’s office. She knocks on the door. No response. He’s not there. Where can he be?
