Passport Renewed

Yay!  I received my renewed passport via Express Mail today.  I had seen the new design of the passport, but now I have my own.  I am however sad that all of my used pages have disappeared.  The signs and marks of trips I've taken, or have attempted to take, all of the visas and country stamps that I received - gone.

Simple pleasures.  Bittersweet.

The Story of an Elephant

Sarah, our creative writing teacher, wrote a story about an elephant. It climbed into a tree to gain perspective. I hope you'll take the time to read it. Let me know if you'd like me to send a copy. I would be happy to! I think you will be inspired by it. I think you might understand a little more about me too. I'm really glad that Sarah is coming to teach about writing stories. I can't wait to see her script writing come together.
