A Sultry Saturday
Posted on July 6, 2013 under Storytelling with no comments yet
I know I should be sitting in an air conditioned bar sipping on a few cool ones. But those of you who have been following my stories for several months, know that I am not normal… not even close. I am sitting at a my computer, in a room that could pass for a sauna, drinking coffee. Writing.
I don’t know if there are any road races scheduled for this weekend. Hopefully not. This heat would be brutal for runners but I can tell you, this is exactly what it was like in 2012 when a few of us ran the Boston Marathon. You can check out a story I wrote about this at www.week45.com. Go to the archives for April 15th. In honor of all runners, especially new runners, I wrote a story today that I will be posting on Sunday the 7th. of July. I am going to try and describe what it is like to stand at the starting line for your first race. The story is called ” It All Starts Here”.
As promised, in a video on my website ( Sea People ), I am going to tackle a tricky subject: the problems in the lobster fishery. I am doing this with a great deal of trepidation. I value the small number of friends that I have and this number could be significantly reduced after publication! The story is called “Into a Pot of Boiling Water”.
And coming up later next week, I will be posting a story about the Antigonish Landing. It is called ” A Soft Landing” and once again you can preview the video of the same name.
What a weekend to be in Canso or Cavendish for two incredible music festivals.
Hope you’re having an awesome weekend and get ready to lace ’em up tomorrow morning.
