Nebulous Mooch

We went to the British Library the other day. My in-laws are in town, and we’ve been sighting-seeing around London with them. The main attraction at the British Library is the Magna Carta. I have to admit that I’m not too into history. I know that the Magna Carta is important, but I never felt like I was missing anything by not seeing it.

The Magna Carta was good. It was still and in a glass case and old, just like you’d expect. The best moment at the British Library happened when we were resting on the benches there. My father-in-law leaned over and asked, “Do you mind if I go into a trance for a few moments?” After everyone said that they didn’t mind, he closed his eyes and went into what I have to assume was trance. When my husband came over and started trying to speak to him we all announced, “He’s in a trance.” After a few minutes he opened his eyes again and started talking to us like nothing unusual had happened.

I guess the library is as good a place as any to go into a trance. Maybe they should include that in tourist brochures. Come to the British Library to see the Magna Carta and slip into a trance.
