BTT: Mayday

Quick! It’s an emergency! You just got an urgent call about a family emergency and had to rush to the airport with barely time to grab your wallet and your passport. But now, you’re stuck at the airport with nothing to read. What do you do??

And, no, you did NOT have time to grab your bookbag, or the book next to your bed. You were . . . grocery shopping when you got the call and have nothing with you but your wallet and your passport (which you fortuitously brought with you in case they asked for ID in the ethnic food aisle). This is hypothetical, remember….

In the past I have purchased magazines and thoroughly read the newspaper IF I am not too busy worrying about my family. There have been times where I asserted myself to ask others in the waiting room if I may read their purchased magazines. Other times I have just read through the book summaries and thought of purchasing one however I am always aware that I could purchase the book used or check it out from the library if I just patiently wait. The same kind of situation applies to the airport although I usually have at least one book to read while there.

On a different note I laughed at the Mayday title! Since it actually is May Day! Happy May Day!!
