Day 18 - Freestyle Brainstorming

What if Jim and Montmorency camped on the beach? What could happen? Police? Beach combers? No, he'd be stealth camping. On a beach? Yep - silly idea.

What if he had imaginary interactions with the carved wood characters from Alice In Wonderland?

This sounds more promising. The conversations could explore his own feelings of staleness and help him overcome them.

Reference the idea of finding what makes you tick.

"It has been stated by Thomas Szasz that what people really need and demand from life is not
wealth, comfort or esteem but games worth playing.1 He who cannot find a game worth playing is
apt to fall prey to accidie, defined by the Fathers of the Church as one of the Deadly Sins, but now
regarded as a symptom of sickness. Accidie is a paralysis of the will, a failure of the appetite, a
condition of generalized boredom, total disenchantment -- "God, oh God, how weary, stale, flat and
unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!""
