Installment 1 – The decision is made.

Correct me if I’m wrong here but as I remember it, all Judy Garland had to do to get back to Kansas was the following:

1. look thoroughly annoyed from having wasted so much time and learned nothing new

2. click heels of the appropriate, sparkly footwear three times

3. repeat catchy mantra

And then she woke up and everything was back to normal. Is it me? Does this stuff only work for natives of Kansas or orphans who inexplicably live with an Aunt and Uncle? Is it only for those who have new friends with missing vital organs or questionable character traits?

What about a West End Girl who just wants to come back to her hometown of Pittsburgh?
