It’s Tell A Story Day
Posted By Kathleen David on April 27, 2016
According to Sandra Boyton, who has been keeping up with this sort of thing, it is tell a story day.
Of course there are a myriad of ways to look at that one phrase.
Do you read a story to someone else that is much beloved to you?
Do you write a new story for people’s amusement?
Do you just listen to other people’s stories?
Do you tell a story about something that happened in your life? Your family’s life? Your ancestors lives?
There are all kinds of ways to look at this.
Personally I am holing up in my hotel room working on my novel for the day while Peter gets some time with his girls. So I will be telling a story that won’t be seen for a little less than a year.
It is also new comic book day so there are lots of stories to be had there.
Our stories about ourselves are our history or how we see our history.
I have a number I could tell today. There are the classics like Guava Paste is People but both Peter and Harlan told that one so much better. There are the Caroline stories, which we tell her of her youth. We have been telling her what she was like as a baby. There are my theater stories, convention stories, travel stories, and family stories. I have a lot of them and have written many of them down over the years in the web log. There are painful stories and happy stories and some that don’t have an ending yet.
So ask me a question and I’ll tell you a story based on that question. Might not be long but it will be a story. It can be fictional or non-fictional. Something about my past or my future. Puppet or not. I will put a caveat that there are some stories I am not going to tell for a variety of reasons so please understand this.
I am grateful for all the stories I do have to tell.
What is the latest thing that has make you laugh out loud?
Unrelated to this. PAD’s blog has been acting weird for a couple of months now when using Firefox and internet explorer. For example, the current first post on the main page says it has 65 comments but you click on it is as if the page is going to an older version of itself when there were fewer or even no comments in the thread. It shoes as zero comments on Firefox and only six comments on Internet explorer. I has been able to see more updated comments when using the Safari browser on iPhone but I don’t have access to check right now. I don’t know if everybody is having this problem or if it has something to do with the firewall settings on my end.
