*30 years ago (1975) I was a stay at home mom with two kids under 3.

* 20 years ago (1985).Master’s degree finished at last, I was teaching and being an administrator-the only year both kids lived with their father and I was trying to get myself to look for work in California.

* 10 years ago (1995) Ph D in hand, divorced and remarried, I was just back from teaching in China.

* 5 years ago (2000) I spend part of the summer in Chicago for the first time.

* 3 years ago (2002) .Back in administration with one more year of work to go, I had started writing again, and doing yoga. And found ATPO.

* 1 year ago (2004) Free at last, LJ at last, Chicago now part of my life. One novel down.

* So far this year (2005) Started looking for publishers and dabbled with writing fantasy.

* Yesterday: The great family dinner: my son and his partner, me and Bill, my ex and his girlfriend, son’s partner’s mother, father and stepmother. And aunt.

* Today. Walk in the hills with my younger son

*Tomorrow: Wander around and explore the hills and bay. Maybe take a ferry to Sausolito?

In the next year: Go to Guatemala for Spanish, maybe to India, also Dubrovnik and Budapest. Keep writing. Look at disaster relief training?

So I have some free time this week in the evening or next weekend. Are we still planning a meet?

Indeed! Let me do a post to the whole Bay Area group in case anybody else wants to join us. Basically, days 9/26, 27, 28, 29 and 10/3, 4, and 6; nights 9/26, 28, 10/3, 5, and 6. I'll be in SF during the afternoon of Wed. 10/5 so that would be really convenient, but any of the listed times would be great if they work for you. Glad you'll have some time!
