Do you remember when, as a child, if you were feeling down you'd just run right out and play make believe? Your siblings were being a pain in the butt so you'd go out in the back yard, tie a beach towel around your neck and save the world from the evil forces of evil...ness? You got a two Cs on your report card, one for behavior and the other for handwriting, so you'd break out the wooden blocks and build an entire city to drive your Hot Wheels through? If it rained for a week straight, and your best friend was on vacation in Florida you'd strip all of the cushions off of your sofa and build a fort in your living room and read SpiderMan comics until dinnertime? Remember being a kid and being able to get away from it all with just a little smidgen of imagination?

Now if you want to get away as adult what are your options? Cheap liquor, posting on your blog, and reality television?

Sometimes I wish I could travel through time, fly through the clouds, and wrestle with trolls just like I did when I was young.
