stopped.After about 15 minutes-with little information about the delay and no cell service-
everyone in the car was getting restless.Suddenly,an inspiration struck."I asked neighboring

He had memorized Hamlet's "To be or not to be"speech more than 15 years earlier to pass the
time on a cross-country bike trip.
"I was definitely nervous because I'd never per formed publicly before,he said.Although his
tired audience neglected to clap when he finished-they did applaud when the train started to move
