I know about the dangers of isolating oneself too much, but still, I’ve always loved this quote by Hemingway (hopefully getting it right), about how a really good book makes you feel that “it all happened to you” and “belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, the sorrow, the people and places and how the weather was.” So curl up in an arm chair, drape yourself across a sofa, sit in a tree, read in bed with the help of a flashlight, hide in a library, and read. Forget about your own surroundings. Get carried though space & time…

Puppetaxe is working, waiting and hoping it all works out
To witness and live around the great and small events of history. To go back meet my parents before I was born. To live for a while in a place and time when there was no war, where the air and water was pure, and it was quiet. Aahhh.
we are always travelling through time…if the future is 5 seconds from now we will make it there eventually.
I’ve traveled through time. When I read a history book I travel to the past. When I wake up I’ve traveled into the future.
- the day I was born, so I can hold me and say “boy, he’s got a huge wang! He’s gonna split a woman in half with that when he’s all grown up!”
- the grassy knoll when JFK was shot.
- the day I die.
- D-Day. Shouting ‘Bonjour, asswipe!’ as a shoot holes in Nazi’s.
- the day Einstein finally cracks the theory of relativity.
- the one day I wasn’t there for her. :(

now if I could just get traveling BACKWARDS through time down! :-)
If you want to get technical about it, I guess I really didn’t travel through time… But right now its 230pm on the 1st of March (in Washington), but I flew out of Japan at 6pm on the 1st of March… I think I’m still going to say I accomplished this because I feel spent.
