Heads or Tales

Today in Wimberly's Montessori school

A few weeks ago I called up Wimberly's Montessori school and asked if I could come and visit and tell stories.  Actually, I didn't call, I e-mailed the directoress, Renee.  She gave me the go-ahead.  What a delight.  They have a 9-13 class, a 6-9 group and a 3 -6.  I did some string stories and a spooky story for the big kids.  Really I was just in each class for about 30 minutes, but such a nice place.  

Afterwards, Nelson and I stopped at Linda's Fine Foods and had their three choice salad.  Grilled cauliflower and broccoli was one choice.  I can never pass that up.  Afther THAT, we drove home and walked up the big hill behind Starry Nights, where we are renting.  Once at the top, Nelson and I both fell asleep in the big swing up there, then I ran around the field at the top a few times.

Texas

Our car is parked in front of the little house we rented for three months halfway between Blanco and Wimberly, Texas.  I just got in from looking out over the valley.  I'm happy I did because it looks like it's clouding over.  Last week was Frontera Fest in Austin and I performed on Thursday night.  The Hyde Park theater is smaller than I remember.  It's in a garage like structure.  The whole fringe festival is so well organized.  Take a look at their website.  You can Google it with FronteraFest 2012.  I didn't win the opportunity to perform in the best of the week.  The group who won that was an improv group called Hand Bomb.  They did an hilarious piece of Romeo and Juliet.  Actually, they weren't my first vote, if I hadn't voted for myself.  My first vote was to a group of three performing Cowboy from Corona.  That short play, the rule was no more thant 25 minutes, was about a young woman working her way out of pergatory, which sounds not so good, I know, but it was.
