Spring is finally here!

Three blizzards in two weeks and rain and cold in between but then that’s spring in Dakota! And today the sun does shine!  I have been to Tyndall, Springfield and Tabor SD for three shows in one day but the good news is that even though I have been laid up for about 5 months with my broken leg, I …

Residency in Hot Springs SD

This has been quite a week.  I was supposed to go to Hot Springs on Monday April 27th 2009 but Sunday-the travel day- it once again decided to snow.  So we posponed until Tuesday.  On Tuesday and Wednesday I did two performances of IN THE CENTER OF THINGS and 8 workshops.  347 kids made sock puppets and really did themselves …

Spring may be coming

March is always such multi personality month.  One day it promises us that summer is just days away.  Then the  next day winter is back with sub freezing temperatures.  This year it started to sneak in like a lamb but just days into it that lion raised its frosty head and he roared!. Some time in the midst of the …

New year–new adventures

Silver City

I am in Silver City. The trip over the Black Range was full of memories and the realization that New Mexico is interlaced with memories of my family.  It goes back a very long way.  Bob in Taos.  Claire and I at Bandelier.  Claire at UNM.  Me in Santa Fe. And then Kand P i Silver.  There are so many memories …

New Mexico

I had decided that I won’t come back to NM next summer.  With the cost of gas and my weak wrists it didn’t seem to make sense.  I stayed with Kabe on my way down in Cheyenne.  It was a great if very short stay.  Then on to Ft Collins.  I did two shows there.  It was supposed to be …

on the road again

Summer has started.  Actually it is in full swing.  I have been to Rawlins Wy, Kimball SD, Platte SD, Ft Collins CO, Bosque Farms NM and now I am in Alamogordo.  The shows are going well.  The weather here is hot.  After the rain and relative cold of SD the 102 degrees here yesterday was a bit of a shock.  I have …

First Post!

I hope to use this blog a lot, but I am going on the road now so I may not have much time.  Maybe later though.
