I Wish I'd Been Able to Hold Her as a Baby

Julia got into her home state's art academy. She has found sanctuary. Her future is on the wing.

Julia is the daughter of two people who created her while studying for an MFA in creative writing. Her mother was reasonably sensible, jolly, almost entirely alcohol and drug free and careful with money. The father was the anti-thesis of these attributes. But they made a good looking baby.

This father is on his way to Muscat tomorrow to make sure his three cats have the proper papers to get his cats out of Oman and back into Kuwait.

In three weeks or so, he will transfer his life away from his current wife--the Rose of Tehran--back to Oman, but in its deep south, Salalah.
Sa is Arabic for "see whadda mean" La is Arabic for no. Y'understand nope nope, Oman.
