Red Cloud, Nebraska

Here I was all geared up to do an entire episode about Disney Princesses for episode 5 (try to figure out if I’m kidding). But then my wife and I went to Red Cloud, Nebraska to attend part of the Willa Cather convention, watch silent movies, meet an old friend for the first time, and hang out with the Mont Alto Orchestra. My mind reels with podcasting possibilities! The Princesses will have to wait…

Without giving too much away, let me just say that we met up with Eliahad from the website, whom I’ve known online for more than 10 years but have never met in person. We got to hang out with him and his lovely wife and the rest of the orchestra, and we had the most wonderful time. Beforehand, there was a bit of nerves, wondering how everyone would get along, if we’d really have anything to talk about, that sort of nonsense. I shouldn’t have worried. It was exactly like getting together with old friends, and I would do it again in a heartbeat if the opportunity arises.

What a wonderful weekend!
