LOOKING FORWARD TO july


Had lots of fun this week. I went to see The Twins (baseball). And went to the Raspberry festival in Hopkins and saw DJ Tom Barnard from KQRS running with the Bulls-if you have no idea what that means-basically runners have to get to the finish line as fast as possible, but have to avoid getting the red flags hanging on their backs taken by one of the fast and relentless official bull runners and roller derby bulls.

August



I went on vacation to Wisconsin.  You got to love the lakes there.  They seem to call out to you, swim in me, sail on me. Come into the conservatory and park by the dock.  In fact, dock wherever you want.  Wouldn't it be cool if everywhere you went you could dock?  Docking is so much different than walking or perching yourself somewhere. The subtle flow of the water makes you ask a question like: Do I want to stay here?  Cause if i don't I can easily just float away. Float, float, float away just like that. And everything you do is made choice by the lake which steers you away calmly.

I had a few friends text me their whereabouts during my trip.  They were either taking a meditation class or enjoying a Backstreet Boys concert.  Other friends were discussing music or smiling into video calls, saying hi, waving even, while I pointed at the lake.  Isn't communication great?

We also stayed at the Hilton in Wisconsin Dells and swam in the hotel pool.  You just have to swim in hotel pools, don't you?  You just have to take in everything on vacation.








We also watched a group of people who had rented a pontoon boat and had a party. They back flipped and jumped off the pontoon that also substituted as a cafe.  Honestly, it looked like a cabin that could be an outhouse in the middle of the lake.

Other than that the trip was pretty great.  I hope to remember Mt Olympus and the looks on people's faces as ten foot waves came and picked everyone up and distributed them somewhere else in the pool.

H is for Hauling Books #AtoZChallenge via @trincarl

I'm Hauling some of my favorite audio books as Part of my #AtoZchallenge and my theme of anything Writer(ly)

A big part of being a writer is reading a lot of books.  And when you can't read, why not listen?!

Below you'll find some audio books I've been listening to along with their audio narrators.

I feel that an audio narrator alone will dictate whether I enjoy an audio book.  So I included some

of these narrator's other work for your further listening pleasure.

I also wrote an earlier blog posts on detective-like podcasts that are great to listen to.
