Can a person have more than one passport in hand or issued at the same time?
Different countries have different rules.
A Dutch friend says he is not supposed to have another
passport if he has a Dutch one. (Dutch Law). But he ignores
that and uses Dutch or NZ passport as convenient.


I have a project translating 1700 letters written to the Baroness von Stein by the philosopher/poet/scientist Goethe to English and learning German along the way. In March, I will travel to Weimar in Eastern Germany where they lived and work on a literary piece (either a novel or a play). The apartment where I will be staying for three weeks is located in the Alte Falknerei on the property of the cemetery where they are both buried.

It's a romantic, gothic enriching project and I am such a nerd for it...

Good luck! Will your work be published?

Thank you. I would like to publish it, but I am leaning more toward wanting it performed on stage if it is good enough. Charlotte von Stein was every bit the playwright as Goethe, but her plays have drifted into obscurity because of her status as a woman in the shadow of the great talent of Goethe.

Her responses to Goethe’s correspondence are lost because she burned them all after a falling out with him. My goal is to attempt to find her voice...

Probably a bit more than anyone really wants to know about this project but I’m pretty passionate over it.

It would be an important play. I wish you success in putting it all together.

You are both very lucky to have found each other. I know it takes more, and you have managed with that too. I'm happy for you. 😍

I still pick up pennies from parking lot tarmac.

Not because of their value, they're worthless, but because I think it's an inappropriate place for the image of Abraham Lincoln.
