Will this planet stop and rest a while in the welcoming atmosphere of a poet? She'd love to see the planet's face.

You have fun too! It sounds like you will. Don't forget to howl at the moon.

OH my dear Choosie! You are really doing it! -- You will have to be the Wild Woman for all of us. We are all filled with a longing for the wild. There are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning. We were taught to feel shame for such a desire. We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings. But the shadow of the Wild Woman still lurks behind us during our days and in our nights. No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed. ~Clarissa Pinkola Estes~ Women Who Run with the Wolves Be safe and well, and stop in a cybercafé along the way to tell us of the journey.

Choosie, there was this article a couple weeks that made me think of you. Unfortunately, you weren't around at the time and I can't get a direct link any more. Come out. come down. come back. Being Ellen New York Times Magazine; New York; Aug 19, 2001; Jesse Green; Not just starting over, but starting over nice. DeGeneres wanted the show to have an "oldfashioned" feeling - exploiting oddballs for laughs, yes, but embracing them too, as Bob Newhart did. This is not new territory for her: in her stand-up, she typically presents her observations through characters who are obtuse, vain, inane or pointlessly rageful. But she somehow manages to place these characters within a force field of acceptance, as if to say she is all of those things herself. As a result, the more awful or awkward she is, the nicer and more graceful she seems. "A lot of the humor on sitcoms comes from being sarcastic and mean-spirited," she says. "And I just never have liked that. I like things that are funny because they're silly or because they're smart. So it was important to me that we would deal with a nice small town, where people aren't homophobic, where gay people can be open and everyone just accepts everybody." "But is there such a small town?" I ask. "Is there a flying nun? On TV there is." Good luck on your trip, maybe you'll run into the flying nun or something.

Choose, I just came across your post, and dawn is past, so you won't read this until you check in at some cybercafe or friend's house. But I am sending intense goodluck mindforce waves through the atmosphere to your car. I wish you'd mentioned what color it was, and roughly where it was, to assure greater targeting accuracy. Take notes. Remember your adventures, inner and outer. We are chained here, so rely on you to remind us where orbiting planets go and what they see on the way. And be a little careful. If you run out of money for gas or shelter, let us know, we'll all chip in and get it to you fast.
