It seems as though I really have traveled through time. As the ancient saying goes, now that I'm here, I may as well settle in. It seems this is the home of a wealthy family. I don't need to worry about food or clothing. I don't need to work or pay off my mortgage. Just staying here and watching how people from ancient times lived will be quite nice. I just don't know how I'll make it with no computer or TV!
