On The Road Again


Woden Texas

I’m at Woden Jr. High today (That’s pronounced Whoa-dun) with librarian Susan Harrison. A small country school with a bit over 100 students. It’s great fun, and a luxury, to speak to small groups like this. The students were enthusiastic, polite, and had great questions. They had an old fashion […]


Texas Origami 5

Beautiful four hour drive yesterday afternoon from Copperas Cove to Nacogdoches. I’ve spent a lot of time in Texas, but not in this area. I don’t associate trees with the Lone Star State, but there are plenty along Hwy 7 when you get to Davy Crockett National Forest. It reminded […]

Talawanda Middle School

Leaving Oxford, Ohio today… Yesterday afternoon I did a taped television interview with Jay Kimieck, the Associate Director of the Miami University Partnership Office, the wonderful organization the brought me here for the Sandy Hormell Book Celebration. Last night I did a well attended public presentation at the university, followed […]


Travel Day 3

I’m headed east to Oxford, Ohio this morning. A short trip for me. I’ll be back Friday. And I promise I won’t go into this much detail in future posts because I usually fly someplace every week. To repeat this every time I fly someplace to speak would be really […]
