I reflect now as I finish packing I just might have an
addiction of a strange type. As most of you know, I like to read, I read annual reports, magazines, newspapers, of course books, and now the Kindle. When I travel (which is no that frequently) I tend to over prep my reading supplies. My biggest fear is that I am stuck somewhere with nothing to read. I mean my life is ticking away and I am just sitting there wasting my brain.
This is airport and airplane-oriented but I find that I really want to read when something awful is happening. I just visited my brother int eh Hospital (Beth Israel 3rd time in 15 years) and all I could think about was what I would bring to read, would it be enough? Is there a newstand there in the lobby?
I am bringing on the plane several soccer books and a couple of magazine about the Beatles. Also John Grisham newest book. I anticipate drinking a few too many on the long flight and maybe thee is a bad movie?
Nowadays we hear and read so much about our growing obsession to and reliance on computer technology. But no one EVER discusses another very serious addiction. Yes, I refer to NERD (Neuro-Emotional Reading Disorder). I applaud your openness. I wish more nerds were like you--out and proud. I look forward to your posts. Have a pint for me. I'll pay you back later.
