Shocking. I know.
For the month of September, I’m going to take myself offline and try to remember what being not-busy is like. Granted, this includes Dragon*Con at the first of the month, but besides that, I’m going to just spend some time hanging out with Rob. A vacation. I’ve heard other people talk about them.
Which means–
While I’m away, I’ve got a series of “Retro Mary” posts, which are journal entries from 1994, when I was developing a new show, The Pied Piper, with Jodi Eichelberger. I wrote in my journal daily back then, so you’ll get to see what I was like when I was twenty-five.
If you want to contact me during the month of September, you’ll have to use postal mail. Again, I know it’s shocking but… if you write me a paper letter, I will write a paper letter back to you.

Waaaaaaaaaah! I want to go on vacation too!
(Oh yeah. And I hope you have fun. 🙂 )
I’ll let you know what it’s like.
I’m almost tempted to write you a paper letter just for giggles. (Almost…)
Enjoy your vacation!
I know. You’d have to find stamps and who has those?
Oh, I have stamps – I just don’t write many letters.
Oh, I have stamps – I just don’t write many letters.
I always have to look up what the current postal rate actually *is* when posting letters after I’ve run out of Forever stamps. I have other denominations and can usually make up a standard stamp, but have to know what we’re required to put on a letter. I think I might have to take you up on the challenge. 😉 Have a great break! I hope it’s restful and restorative. And I do so dearly wonder what that’s like. 😉
My first thought was ‘she’s gonna volunteer for another marygoround so soon?’
Have fun!
(Hmmm, tempting to write a paper letter to see what happens, but Mary doesn’t need to be subjected to my handwriting….)
You can always type it, you know.
Type… on paper….. whoa, you just blew my mind.
Crazy, huh?
Totally offline…wow. You taking a break from writing and puppetry as well, or just the webs?
Just the webs.
Oh, this is unfortunate. I guess you didn’t get the memo that I was on my way to live with you for a month while you do this “vacation” thing. I guess I’ll have to cancel the pet and children sitter! 🙂
On a more serious note — have a few hundred glasses of Scotch for me, enjoy your time away and I will most definitely try to write you a hand written letter with my fancy quill!
Hugs!
