Hi, faithful readers, and thanks for visiting today. I have had a busy weekend and haven't been able to blog--Mr. Strega and I traveled up the state and back to pick up my youngest from music camp (Riff went on tour with the music camp and had an absolutely fabulous time, with performances in three major cities). Then, I had my last performance of the summer season, two very easy dances (yay--I wouldn't have been up to the difficult ones this time) and a terrific audience in San Leandro. I did have a costume malfunction just before I went on--my tassel belt (made predominantly of yarn) unravelled and snapped, but I safety-pinned it back together and folded part of my costume over it, and it was fine There was great Moroccan food there and I treated myself to a very nice chicken bastilla (click on the link to find out what that is).
But now, I am beat, with the usual ailment sending me a reminder that it is still there, so I am putting my feet up tonight, listening to music, reading, and if I feel a little better later, working on the book just a little So, nothing spectacular to report today, for I have not looked at the news. But thank you all for stopping by my little neck of the woods today anyway.
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
