At long last,
I turned in my passport application yesterday. Hooray for me :-) Thank god :-) All I need now is air fare to Zagreb, Croatia. Don't know how long I've wanted this--at least since Shrub got elected :-) Have to go see what my grandfather left behind in the old country :-) Of course I know a little bit about what I'm looking for--people who behaved like my dad did at times when I was a kid, people who approached life with a gusto I just don't find in Amerika. I feel there is too much fear here--this is a Protestant nation, a Puritan nation bound up in guilt and shame, fear and anguish, trying to do the "right" thing. Bother :-( It'll take a while I know--I've been a vitamin freak for like 50 years, trying this and then that "for my health" and it costs me like $300 a month. Bother. You live until you die, and nobody knows what's next, but it's a big universe :-)
