Friday, May 6
Out and about
Things to do this weekend...
If you happen to be occupying meat space coordinates within a hundred miles of Leavenworth in central Washington state this weekend, check out my nephew's birdhouses -- well, don't just check 'em out, buy one! -- at the Leavenworth Spring Bird Festival. He'll be making and selling cool bird houses from 1-3 p.m. each day. Seek out Daniel's Home for Birds when you're there.
Speaking of nephews, if you happen to be anywhere else in the world, tune in via the web as my other nephew co-hosts his first 30 minute radio show about literature starting this Sunday. The show airs live, May 8, at 6:30 p.m. central time. You can listen at www.wnur.org. Nick's guest is a guy named Shawn Huelle, who writes regularly for The Neo-Futurists, a theater troupe downtown.
I myself will be following the Giro d'Italia, which begins Saturday morning with a prologue time trial at the tip of the boot as 3500k race for the maglia rosa gets under way. A good preview, for the zero of you who are interested, is at that link.
If you find yourself with nothing else to do, you can always come clean our garage...
