Why the name change from "Beth 1.9"?  I've been wanting to change it for quite awhile, mostly because the whole 1.9 joke was growing pretty stale, but I wasn't exactly posting here a lot, and hadn't thought of anything better, and so on.  I'm taking part in a reflective writing project right now, and I've realized how much I miss writing.  I'm also fascinated with the ideas and issues surrounding writing for an audience, or not, memory, and I'm back to my old saws of re-reading, re-writing, and by extension, translating. 

Anyway.

While reflecting on the introductory sessions of the reflective practice project face to face meetings, it dawned on me that I had finished my MLS coursework at age 23.  Just turned 46.  This whole "half my life" thing is screwing with my brain a bit.  Okay, a lot.  And by "screwing with my brain" I mean making me think and motivating me and pushing me into some bright lights, out of some corners, luring me into peering over the edge.

Feels good.  It's time.
