Adventure?

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."  This is a famous Shakespearean quote.  In the newest Star War movies there are lots of battle scenes.  There are scenes where intergalactic flying vessels are shooting through the stars, trying to avoid a battle scene.  In genre the movie would be science fiction/action adventure.

Now we come to the "any other name."  I am going to list three scenarios and I would like the reader to categorize whether the thing listed is an adventure, or simply annoying with no positive value.  Here we go!

1.  You have a blowout tire.  You manage to wrest the car to the emergency lane.  You are, however, in the middle of nowhere Idaho.  You can't even get cell signal on your phone.  Don't  think too long on this situation.  Adventure or annoying?

2.  You're moving across country with your husband and four children.  Your car is filled to overflowing with humans, and their luggage.  Adventure or annoying?

3.  You're rappelling.  You happen to look down and realize that you are very, VERY high up on the face of a mountain.  Adventure or annoying?

My husband made a trip to the grocery store a grand adventure!  It often seemed to me that when he titled any experience an adventure it became one.  The lesson that he taught me and our children was that attitude can change things.  Our family motto is "Happy, Not Crappy."  I end with the same Shakespearean quote but phrased a bit differently, an adventure by any other name (like annoying) would provide progress and growth.
