A couple of days in the airport give one the opportunity to complete a short read. I was inspired to step out of my planned queue (mainly because I didn't want to travel for business with a book entitled Possum Living), and decided instead to visit Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I cannot remember when I had last read this book and was happy to delve into a world of wonders for the series of hour long flight segments. There were so many characters I did not initially recall: the Duchess, the Knave, and the Frog Footman while so many others (Cheshire Cat, the Queen, the Caterpillar) were expected finds.
I think I was not the only one with Alice on her mind as the waitress last night made the comment when people were changing seats at the restaurant: "What is this? A Hatter's Tea Party?" Indeed a cup of tea and a bit of change are quite appealing at the moment.
