Was Dorothy right or a victim of ginned-up memory? She was so pleased to be deposited right back at her beginning. But the colors weren’t there. Where was the action? The danger that infused her journey and spiked her nerve endings? I guess that she eventually acclimated to her old routine. Gradually the colors and tingly tension subsided into a memory. She helped with the chores, later married a farmer from a nearby town, and put on her apron to raise corn and a few kids. Maybe one snowy night, though, when Dorothy was in her twilight years, all alone in front of the fireplace nursing a dram, She took solace in the fact that once upon a time she was the star of her own technicolor journey. Close your eyes, Dorothy. And dream a little dream for me.

There’s no place like home
