I’m not sure I will ever fly on a plane again, and certainly want to avoid Chicago O’Hare at all costs. I got there yesterday morning just fine, but only got out again mid-morning today — after having been bumped off three planes and thoroughly frisked by the security people besides.

The Iowa workshop, however, is absolutely fabulous.

This week I’m taking a “Humor Writing” course, and was able to catch up with what I missed from yesterday. We read and listened and laughed our heads off. Our teacher is also a playwright and she wants us to work on reading aloud — “performing” our work, too. I really wanted to go out to dinner and TALK with everyone after and then do some of my delicious homework, but I’m so tired I can’t manage another thing, and really feel like I’ll melt if I don’t try to get some sleep first.
