Time Traveler: Taking a sick day
I woke up this morning to the sound of frantic scratching at my door. At first, I thought I was dreaming but the scratching continued, followed by whimpering and whining. I arose and carefully opened my front door. To my surprise, I saw the Time Traveler’s only true friend, his dog Trav, with a note attached to his collar. The note was written in very shaky style, as if the author was sitting at death’s door. It was from the Time Traveler, claiming he was taken ill by the Head Cold From Hell. His note included a column from a year or two ago. He ended the note by saying he hopes his readers will understand. I have told him I think you will.
