Narrative:

Taxiing out for takeoff on 2R, ground controller suddenly called and said to hold where I was, then told me to taxi to the right down the runway and then another right to taxi to 2R. I was looking both right and left as I was taxiing and saw no aircraft approaching this runway. At no time was there any imminent danger of a collision. I think that I had taxied almost on to 2L (an active runway), which I thought was runway 27, which I had been cleared to cross in the initial taxi instructions. I was tired and rushed, wasn't even sure if in fact I almost taxied onto 2L. Ground said nothing about the incident. I know this airport fairly well and if I think anything can be done to prevent a recurrence, it would be to get business off my mind and get flying on my mind.
