I Run with an Older Crowd
Remember Joetta and Bob? From my trip with the Surveyor back to Kansas and Montana? Well, they came to visit us this week along with Joetta’s cousin, Bill, and his wife Shirley. Accompanied by some local historians, they toured all H. P. Larrabee’s old haunts from Larrabee Valley to Blocksburg to Indian Island in hopes of learning more about their great-grandfather and maybe helping our county heal some very old wounds. We had a wonderful and kind of old-timey luncheon up at the Murphy Ranch, and I finally got to meet Virginia Sparks, who has written articles for the paper and historical society for years. It was a real treat to discover she also has a wicked sense of humor. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s about to become my new best friend.

Story Machines is Online
I just noticed that the Western Folklife Center put my short from this year’s National Cowboy Poetry Gathering online. If you didn’t get a chance to see any of the Deep West Videos this year, be sure to check them out. Mine was in very good company!
