ok i have written and rewritten the opening sentence of this first blog so many times i almost want to can it. but i won't. I'm not creating the wheel here. Or the atom bomb. Or peace. I'm just going on a roadtrip with my husband and a friend...for a year.
Not for a couple of months still, but it has been decided: For one year, I am trading my uber-romantic life of 'Strugging performer sharing way-too-cozy NYC apartment w/husband and 2 great cats' for a new one - that of wannabe activist sharing an "eco-friendly" automobile for 365 days with two BOYS (husband being one) and with the hopes of...i'm not even sure what...
Guess i'd be nuts to think I'll be changing the world except in the very most minute way and yet... if "The fluttering of a butterfly's wings can effect climate changes on the other side of the planet," as Paul Erlich claims, (i don't actually know who he is but have always appreciated the sound of that) then i can at least make the effort. The effort is worth something.
So, are there traveling therapists?

Hey Sister,
Just checked out your blog. Paul Ehrlich is a Professor of Population Studies at Stanford University. Coincidentally, he is also a butterfly specialist, hence the wing flapping comment. I only know this because he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in the 50’s and when I went to Wichita State he was touted as one of Kansas’ famous sons.
:o)
haha thanks, Wayne, for putting me straight on that - My husband graduated from Stanford and is, like, "Why didn't you ask me?"
