RE: Day 5/370: 5 minute freewrite -- 'not in my neighborhood'
@kipswolfe, this is the first time I've seen your name here (though I seen now that you've been here some time and I somehow missed out). Welcome (however belatedly) to #freewritehouse! I love your story of the Nissan Maxima (how my daughter loved hers!) - some old woman T-boned that car and the police officer played "dumb blonde" when she arrived, saying, "It's your word against hers," and we footed the $1700 repair bill while "Grandma" lied and got off the hook.
You have an unusual bio - writing and physics and math? How many people have both sides of the brain working with equal competence? I am in awe!

Thanks for the welcome!
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's Maxima. That's definitely a shame. And for Grandma to get off because the cop didn't want to pay attention to it? That's awful. Too bad you didn't report the cop -- not that it would have made a difference, you know?
Writing has always been a passion of mine. The Physics and Matematics side was a long few years -- I almost had the thesis advisor of my dreams, seriously. But my daughter had come along by that point and I decided to leave school to take care of her once we discovered that she had autism. But I almost met that dream of being an astrophysicist...
Thanks for stopping by!
astrophysicist -- wow!!!
Maybe down the road, that door will still be open, or maybe some other door will... just to know you have that talent is empowering. You go!
