The O in Owl is for Outstanding


Yesterday at an unknown hour in the later afternoon I received a call from the girl. She had very, very good news in the form of her acceptance into Temple University.

I'm so very proud of her. She is smart, funny, so eager to learn and even sometimes wants very much to go back to school. Arcadia gave her a bridge to Italy but didn't provide the way back to Academia. Perhaps Temple will lay that path. And if not, at least she has something she wanted very much.

The having of a want is always enough to make any journey worth traveling.

I'm proud of her.
