 National Wormhole Day Blog Hop

Wednesday, March 13th and Thursday, March 14th

 March 14th is Albert Einstein’s Birthday so our own wormhole celebrity, Stephen Tremp, brings you this blog hop to honor the man.

What would you do or where would you go if you could traverse a wormhole through space or time just once? One safe roundtrip passage (think of Rod Serling from Twilight Zone presenting this).

Would you go back in time and talk some sense into a younger you? Go five years into the future and bring back the Wall Street Journal? See just how the heck the Great Pyramids of Giza were really built? View what the other side of the universe looks like? Kill Hitler?

This is a quick and easy Blog Hop. Since we are all busy, take a moment to tell the world, in 100 words more or less, what you would do if you had a two-way ticket to traverse a wormhole. Let your imagination go wild and post it to your blog on either March 13th or March 14th.

Be sure to sign up on the Linky list below!
