Aha! moment

I get some of my best ideas when I'm driving in the car, in the shower, or lying in bed about to fall asleep. Probably because that's when I start to free-associate; my mind just kinda wanders.

This morning in the shower, I absent-mindedly realized that the poem ''The Charge of the Light Brigade'' isn't about a ''Light Brigade'' -- as in, not from the Dark Side. (This mis-understanding probably comes from growing up in a post-Star Wars world.) Instead, it's a light brigade -- i.e. as opposed to the heavy brigade, with heavy artillery and such.

Ahhh....!
