Once again, credit to my west coast brother for this goodie - today is "Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day." He says I get to be a time traveler whenever I'm in a play. I'm not so sure about time, but I certainly get to be a personality traveler, at least sometimes. Several years ago "Back to the Future" and its sequels were very popular, and I think a big part of the appeal was the time travel that occurred in each episode. It's fun to imagine what life was like in ages past or what might be coming in the future. "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" certainly kept our interest. But what about you? If you had a time machine, to where and when would you travel? Don't say the day after the Power Ball numbers are announced. That's just cheating. Would you like to experience life in a colony on Mars, or walk the Palestinian countryside with Jesus and his followers? Or maybe you would like to live for a while in Elizabethan England or with the ancients at Mesa Verde? It might be nice to have a taste of those experiences but only if I was sure I could get back. I must admit I find right now quite comfortable, with computers and cell phones and TV and cars, and recliners. Never forget the recliners. For that matter with a comfy recliner and pile of library books, it's easy to pretend to be a time traveler. Bon voyage.
