When hunting for a placeholder image to test my new blog template, I landed on this illustration of Queen Ozma from January 23, 2014.

Twelve years later, I can tell you exactly what I was thinking at the moment when this image was saved.

I was thinking about how Tip the stable hand transforms into Ozma during the final pages of Baum's Land of Oz.

I was dreaming of a world that could never be. Except, now it is.

I am so happy.
