In 8th grade I kept a journal where, feeling like an alien, I claimed Saturn as my home. It was a pretty planet, far from school and my terrorizing, evil classmates. It sounded like a good place to come from.

Now in mid-life, after recently uprooting myself and initiating the end of a marriage of 10+ years, that alien feeling has returned with a force. So its back to the planet.
