The Magical Holidays
Location
I can take a trip anywhere in the universe at anytime I choose and I never have to call a travel agent:
I can run with the bulls of Spain
dance with King Louis XIV, and Louis XVI
perhaps debate justice with Socrates and Plato
I might even drop in on Henry V at the battle of Agincourt on St. Chrispian's Day
after visiting the Louvre on a spring break get away and later on go to a diner party with Cleopatra
But my favorite times are when I go and visit the Enterprise or Serenity and see the universe
however this year I'll play in a qudditch match for the raveclaw team
perchance conquer one or two of the nine realms with Loki
or maybe, just maybe, this summer Gandalf will let me pass on my pirated airship
The point is my world is full of magic, consulting detectives, witches, hobbits, dragons, aliens, time-travel, history an demi-Gods not because my travel agent finds all of these exotic places on the internet, but because there is always time to travel
between classes
at the gas station
or the tag office
when we need a bit of magic and a get away
and we only have to travel to the nearest bookself...
