Ship's Log - Star Date: Solstice 2014

 The Helm
 By Maryanna Gabriel

"Here today, and up and off to somewhere else tomorrow! Travel, change, interest, excitement! The whole world before you, and a horizon that's always changing!"

-Kenneth Grahame The Wind In The Willows



To boldly go.... out of the driveway. It was quite a process understanding how to get the battery recharged. I had to hire a mobile locksmith for one. Nevermind, it's over now. My what a lot of buttons this thing has. My first stop is Delta, on the mainland. When I bought this thing I was in shock. Words kind of washed over me on that stormy winter day. I now stare at my notes thinking, "What's this then? Gibberish? Code? I wonder what it means?" So a review then. That's the ticket. Did you know that maps are free from BCAA? I thought perhaps to stall things until they came. They came in two days. It's a sign. Goodbye clematis. Goodbye hummingbirds. Goodbye strawberries and bunny rabbits eating my lettuce. Canada.... the final frontier. These are the voyages of Maryanna. Her mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and to boldy go, well, out of the driveway, to where she has gone before but not for a very long while.
