Still here, still here. Enjoying the fuck out of October and the first rainy night of the season and the pumpkin on the hearth and the leaves on the lawn and the breaking out of jackets and the making of soups and stews.

Love it. The rest of my life? Could use a little tweaking. But I'm working on that.

Current fantasy:
Teach full-time at junior college (and by full-time I mean just four classes, two semesters out of the year).

Write my novel /screenplay and freelance

Open a vintage antique/clothing store that also sells cute new paper goods, tee-shirts, etc.

And guess what - I'm currently trying to work towards all three things. So, I guess, go me. Ya see, October is the new New Year.
