365.240 Concept Proved… Now What?

So I proved the concept yesterday, and was all excited about playing with it today: thought about it off and on since last night. But when it came time to shoot… blank. So here I am doing a U-Turn. Woo. Exciting. Yawn. I’m going to go put a pen and pad next to the bed, …
