Me and the governor and other mixed news

[kinzel]

Me and the governor were in the same room yesterday ...
but I doubt he knew it.

The literary tea celebrating national poetry month was a hoot anyway; I met the state's two First Dogs and they were polite and attentive. The poetry we heard was good, and I got to be a participant by chanting along with several poems (I was one of several people invited to be a chorus for these) and I also met a man with a mission: Ron Watier ... see

and so .... if you have room or your land for a storyteller's circle talk to or email Ron -- he's looking for people to help build a nationwide network of storyteller's circles. Be a link in the chain ...

Elsewise I stopped at B&N on the way home from the poetry stuff and ... it looks like we've been invited to participate in an upcoming event there in Augusta. News as that unfolds.

We have met the First Dogs on our Town Commons, aka the park in the next block. When their First Lady told them to sit, they sat. Polite, but they really wanted to sniff us for cats...

So what breeds are the First Dogs. Inquiring minds want to know.

As an aside, I think one or both of our offspring had Mrs. B. as a teacher back in elementary school.
