Oh no you're doing it again. You can't
time travel, OK. Just this morning, or maybe it was last night, I
was back in 1991 meeting my husband Paul. Only this time I had
graduated from the U of Iowa with my degree in English with a
emphasis in creative writing, instead of dropping out to go live with
a boyfriend in Vermont who I was afraid I maybe should not have
broken up with. Since I had always wanted to travel I decided to be
a travel agent pre-Travolocity. While gaining experience and
supporting myself as a travel agent, I gradually attracted
recognition as a travel writer. By the time I met my future husband,
I had written about my experiences in countries all over the world
and was gaining recognition as a short story writer. I had also
started a novel and was thinking about settling down more.
Then I catch myself and realize, yes, I
did time travel in my mind. What about now? Am I worth anything
now?
