Masters Week

Posted on April 8, 2013 under Storytelling with 2 comments

Even though I am a self proclaimed sports enthusiast, I notice that I haven’t done a sports story on my blog yet. This could change this week. My absolute favorite televised sporting event, The Masters golf tournament gets under way this Thursday. Besides the venue for the tournament and the rich history, the thing I like most is that there are only 4 minutes of commercials for every hour of broadcast.

I am quickly realizing that having a blog is like raising a child. It requires constant attention! It is akin to owning a wood stove in the winter. You just have to keep stoking it with fresh fibre. The good news is that I have a resevoir of about 75 stories so there’s no shortage of material . And of course, as I bump into people on a daily basis, I get new fodder.

I have five new stories in the editing phase. ” Convenience and Calories” is the story about a local convenience store that houses a bakery. It is only minutes from our house and Lent is over. You connect the dots! “Hidden Treasures” is a story from the North about scavenging in a landfill for car parts. “Just Listenin’ To The Radio” is a story about Saturday mornings, doing chores and listening to the local radio station. ” In Memorial” is a story suggested by my brother about the old memorial Rink on the campus of St.F.X. And finally, “Really Important Jobs” discusses jobs that deal with life and death situations ( like having coffee ready for your spouse first thing in the morning! ).

And remember, if you have a story idea, send me an e-mail at len.macdonald@eastlink.ca
