Oh England My Lionheart

That Kate Bush song brings back soooo many memories of my second trip to London and even this last one.  I have always felt like I should live there.  OR maybe I already have.  I keep hoping I'll show up and it will be the 19th century complete with Jane Austen or Charles Dickens wardrobes and jewelry.  Then there is the ever present Shakespeare influence.  I was one of those geek kids who actually Got Shakespeare at a young age and kept the obsession going through adulthood.  Lately I'm missing my time at LAMDA and England so much.  I can't wait to go back.  I know I will.  But as travel goes, I still want to see so many places.  And I can't wait to do that too.  Such a weird place to be in my life.. Excited for the new and fearful of the present... economy, that is.  Up until Last October i had the feeling my savings and stock was something to fall back on... heck  My IRA was something I was diligent about adding to..Now?  I feel like my great-grandmother who used to keep a coffee can buried in the backyard with cash in it because she didn't trust banks. That used to sound crazy.  Now it just sounds smart.
