A concession! Mother has agreed that I can go on long hiking trips by myself -- as long as I agree to cross-dress the whole time!

Just think, it's only the twenty-first century, and I, as a liberated* modern woman, have all the rights and privileges of -- one of Shakespeare's heroines? Hooray for America!

Anyway, this came up because I am spending the next week or so at my sister's apartment, cat-sitting while she gallivants all over Arizona, and it *right next* to the C&O canal trail, and I *am* going to do a long hike while I'm there. I *am*.

Actually I have a *lot* of plans. I will probably not manage to do all of them. ( much, much more about the next ten days or so. )

There. That's plenty of adventure for *me* for one week, anyway. And I probably won't get around to doing half of it, but it'd be cool if I did. And all either free or on Sister's dime! (Except a dollar for ferry fare. And the Tarot class, which would blow my budget for a while, if I actually went.)

*Okay, possibly I would be more liberated if I wasn't still living off Mom. :-P
