August 3rd Blairstown, NJ
Wayfarer Tomm is getting well. His mind is there. A little weary
from his long journey from bedridden to wheelchair bound, but
still as sharp as ever. On the other hand, his wind is weak.
He's to be working on his breathing for the next month. I'll be
back to check on him then. Seems he cooked up a plan to get me a
week's worth of shows in his county. Good trick! Knows I'll stay
at his place, helping him get back to storytelling.
I would have been glad to come anyway. Tomm has some great labels
for ideas I've been trying to synthesize. He also has saved me
from reinventing a few wheels. lol More on those subjects in
September. Or October! Time is flying by.
August 4th - 5th Fremont, NH
<<SMILE>> Home with Sues <<SMILE>>
August 6th - 9th Under the weather and out again.
Ill. Very ill. Must have over-done something. lol Not all of the
notes get to be fun and laughter. Thank goodness I had Sues to
make me teas and broth. Three days of forced rest. I missed a
couple of my regular work sessions at the local preschools. I'll
have to reschedule them for after Maine's shows. However, I
couldn't reschedule Saturday night's show. Had to get better for
that one. The program went excellently, even though I was being
very cautious. Of course, it could have been the audience. ;)
Here's a story I got in return for my tales:
A man was praying, "God!?"
God said, "Yes?"
The man was quite surprised that God had answered, but he wasn't
going to miss his chance. "Can I ask a question?"
God said, "Go right ahead."
"God, what is a million years to you?"
God said, "A million years to me is but a second."
"Wow God, that's what I heard. So is it all like that? I
mean, what is a million dollars to you?"
God said, "A million dollars to me is as a penny."
The man got really excited. He was sure this was his moment.
"God -- can I have one of your pennies?"
God said, "Sure… Just a second and I'll get it."
August 10th To Mount Desert Island
I'm finished with being sick, but now I'm looking at all the work
around the house I had planned to do - before I left for Maine
tonight. I'm looking at all the work on my desk which was suppose
to be finished this week. I'd better not look at it too hard or
it might make me sick again. Slow and steady and work through
priorities. I'm only leaving for a week and I can take some of
the office work with me.
My youngest son, Josh is coming with me to Maine. I think Sues
thinks I need a baby sitter. <snort> Actually, I'm glad to
have him along. Our first show is Northeast Harbor on Mount
Desert Isle. So it's off to Jackson Gillman's place for the first
night at least.
What luck!!! Jackson's here. And he'll be around for the first
half of the week at least. We'll camp here until Thursday
morning.
