An Epic Quest
On 21 December 2005, my sister Emily and I had two and half hours in the Chicago O'Hare International Airport. We were flying United. We wanted lunch. Nay, we needed lunch. Nay, we needed Chinese food. There are two Panda Express locations listed in the United terminal. Both were closed for renovation. We trekked far and wide in search of an open Panda Express. Like buffalo returning to a familiar watering hole, we wandered for thirty minutes. We found our way all the way over to the American terminal, where smell took over and guided us to our desire.
My need for Chinese food satiated, I then had an orange/strawberry/banana smoothie. The place I got it from called it the "fresh" smoothie. This picture was the result. The bunny is Emily's, and he is presented in the spirit of Mad Magazine's "monkeys are always funny" feature.
I am sure you will agree that this is an epic story.
In other news, Emily and I decided that we will be editing, to be published in 2035, a book series: The Death of the Author on Whose Authority? Competiting Claims of Authenticity in the Twentieth Century. Submissions welcome.
