Journeying beyond the Scandinavian countries.

I said I would do it, and I have

It's a mistake to repeat something enough times that people will remember, and then hold you to it. I've said on numerous occasions that I would only start a blog if I went abroad, as a handy journaling/keeping in touch tool. Many have done this to great success, I think, so I'm only a little embarrassed to join them. My first piece of news doesn't come from across the Atlantic, but from my happy home in Hyde Park. Our next door neighbor rang our bell (loudly) today to tell us she had received some of our mail. I got two letters: a rejection notice from a poetry mag in New York, and a letter informing me that I've received a Fulbright grant to study in Oslo for the 2006-2007 academic year. Take that, poetry magazine. I'm going to come back with about a million awesome poems, and who'll be sorry then, huh? Huh?
