In search of the perfect sentence

       I am working on something new, and, as you will see, I was very productive today.   

Originally, this sentence was:

Driving down Lawrence Ave she wondered if a second time trying to meet her father was wise.

After careful analysis, I decided to go a different direction:

Driving down Lawrence Ave she wondered if trying to meet her father a second time was wise.

So close and yet so far. Then it came to me:

Driving down Lawrence Ave she wondered if trying again to meet her father was wise.

My God, it was still wrong!

Driving down Lawrence Ave she wondered if trying to meet her father again was wise.

Within inches of perfection!

Now I'm going to take a nap.
