Cruisin' Awhile

Mothership

Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Birthday: January 04

Title: Cinderellen
Company: Enjoyable, I would hope...

Bio: First 19 years: Peoria, Illinois. During years since, I've lived alternately between Iowa and Illinois. Each relocation required that I set my wristwatch backward, or forward, 100 years, respectively. I am pleased to report that I have once more, returned to my home state, but reserve to option to relocate, if circumstances lead me elsewhere. I am an artist and poet by nature; a health care professional by necessity. My main claim to fame, for purposes of this forum, is that it is my great privilege and honor to be the female component of the bio-pair that co-created our singularly stellar muse, Verbal Remedy.

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to us

Have a great trip! A great time to see a lot the sights that would normally be swamped during "high season" and you should have plenty of warm sunny days too. Much better to go to Europe late in the fall than early in the spring.
