I once rode the train from coast to coast, riding coach, visiting friends and staying in hostels along the way. It was a fabulous trip! #mbnov
I do like Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory, rough translation), Odin’s two ravens that he sends out for news. Like the bit where he fears that Muninn, especially, won’t return. Heh.

Fell passionately in love with that world and spent many happy years with my sibs and friends creating new stories, planets, costumes and so much more…so…May the Force Be With You. #mbnov
