Good afternoon from Collegeville,
This is going out early because Barby and I are driving to Highmore, South Dakota in the morning. Her Uncle Bobby died this week. Uncle Bobby was a bachelor farmer, but not a Norwegian bachelor farmer. He retired from farming early so that he could spend more time racing horses. He and Barby’s mother were brother and sister. It is a long drive and not on the freeway system. In fact we will not ever be on the freeway system. Nothing to do but check out an audio book at the library. I have never owned a library card, but it is never too late. There was no library in Upsala when I was growing up and so I never got the habit. Members of The Black Knight Car Club would not have been allowed in a library even if there had been one. There is a library in Upsala now and it is quite busy.
The show this week is live from The Palace Theater in Waterbury, Connecticut. Special guests include another hero of mine, Arlo Guthrie and the Lost World Tour and the Burns Sisters, along with Lara Herscovitch and the Royal Academy of Radio Actors. If we miss it in Highmore, we can pick it up online from the archive tab next week.
