Narrative:

Overflew bross intersection (17 me west of eno VOR on V268). Should have intercepted J42 at bross. Overflew limits of arwy (we were 4 mi east of center). Conflict with an aircraft at 24000' on another arwy. Center brought error to our attention and given vector for reintercept. Simply was not paying close enough attention.
