IDAHO WRITER LEAGUE

Saturday September 21, 2013 the Idaho Writer League held the awards banquet in Sandpoint. I was thrilled to be awarded first place for the humor story catsgory. My story was a political satire.

BONNER COUNTY FAIR

We were involved with the 2013 fair. I spent time at the Idaho Writers botth supporting the writer's club. I was honored to be asked to judge the beer making competition. As the Counties most experienced beer drinker, it is nice to be recognized. Anita and I attended the 4H animal aution and purchased a big. 

JULY 4 PARADE SANDPOINT 2013

Anita and I rose our 4 cycle tandem in the parade as part of the Bicycle Club.
We carried the club banner and rode at the speed of marchers as other club members circled us to provide an impressive animation. Pictures of us were on face book.

END GAME

I completed a class in theatre arts at North Idaho College. For the last class, my group presented part of Beckett's play "END GAME".  I played the leading role of the character Ham.( An old man in a wheelchair rambeling on and not making any sense).  My wife Anita is my primary fan and attends all my performances.  she said I did a great job with the part.

PHOTO SLIDES

I started taking photo slides when I bought my first 35mm camera in 1964. I continued until my first digital camera in 2005. I collected 6400 slides. My wife and I took on a project of viewing all 6400 slides. It took about a month. It was like a religious meditation reliving our life. It made us appreciate all the wonderful adventure and all the great people who have played a role. We have a lot to be grateful for. We plan to repeat this ritual every year. We will start in January 2014!!

NEW FOUR WHEEL CYCLE

April 1, we made the maiden voyage of our new cycle!! Due to age and health we are no longer confident on our Santana Tandem. We had been riding it for 30 years but it was time for the change. We feel like children on a triycle but we keep on pedling.

NIGHT TO REMEMBER

As a theatre class project, I was required to write a short play. The play was "A Night To Remember".It involves two characters.  March 20, 2013, my wife Anita and I read it at our open mike group called 5 Minutes of Fame.We got a lot of positive feed back.
