3. Damn skippy. I'm in an MFA program at 66.

I’ve been a writer for many years but always wanted the degree—well, not so much the paper as the immersion. And of course the pandemic screwed around with that. But it’s been wonderful!

5. Ooh! Where are you getting your MFA?

I have been wanting to do that too?

I assume that it's an online program. Right?

7. Goddard College. Ordinarily it's not online but...

Typically three residencies a year. There are two campuses, one in VT and one in WA where I am. They’re so upset about us not getting to attend they opened up both to everyone.

All the work in between is done with an advisor and a TON of reading and writing. I went to the first two of my residencies before we got shut down and it was like finding my species. Huge age range and we all absolutely get one another. It’s lovely.

4. You got this.

Went to rehab in 1990 and boy did life change. Went back to college and graduated Magna Cum Laude. In my early college years I struggled for my 2.1 gpa. Found a shrink that told me I have ADD and a couple other learning problems. Told me if I went back to school and sat in the front row, I'd get all As. He was right.

It just gets better all of the time 30 years later.

Multiple business owner.

Without being clean, I wouldn't have had a chance.

Just that type.
