Home!

I'm home: safe, sound, and very tired.
Was greeted by a hurricane of little girl dressed in a red sweater and red cape who nearly knocked me off my feet with her hug.

The flight today was blessedly uneventful -- except for the pleasure of being able to upgrade to "Plus" at the airport for an extra $58, which made the 7 hours in two overbooked airplanes much more pleasant than it would otherwise have been.

Now about that homework I didn't do while I was gone. . . .

10 Things I've Done Which I'm Quite Sure You Have Not
(Which is actually a bit harder than I expected. . . )


1. Directed a full-length play and a one-act play, stage-managed an un-cut production of Hamlet and played the Sailor in Act IV -- and completed a four-class, all-A's college semester -- all at the same time.

2. Directed a film about high power rocketry, shooting exteriors on a prison farm, while pregnant.

3. Wrote a Masters Degree thesis about sacred prostitution in the ancient and modern worlds (challenging many popular beliefs).

4. Divorced a spouse, then proceeded to amicably share a duplex with him for more than four years.

5. Was ordained as a Grail Priestess

6. Died onstage with Ian McKellan

7. Read The Romance of Atlantis

8. Started a tongue-in-cheek urban legend that persisted more than a year after the story was first told.

9. Was court-martialed (for mutiny) at Girl Scout camp

10. Created my own writing system at age 12 and continue to use it 28 years later.

Coincidence?
I don't think so.
