Hello! See, I promised everyone I would be back and I don't break my promises. :-)
So...What have I been up to? How much time do you have, and how much do you really wanna know?
I am finishing my first year in the M.F.A. Program in Creative Writing at American University.

After that, I'm going to be warping young minds in the guise of an innocent substitute teacher for two months, and then will spend the rest of the summer working on my memoir, my children's book, a translation project with my friend Ruth, and will be bouncing back and forth between here and NJ to get ready for The Wedding of the Century™ in October. Oh, and of course there will be mornings of sleeping in, causing chaos in the capital, and going with my music partner in crime (and anyone else who might be interested) to see live music.
