Dustin and one of his dance partners in new piece from Lucy Bowen-McCauley.

Well, the summer as a possible quiet time doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. That’s not a bad thing, merely a change in directions as I have decided in add in an extra trip this month, then my October trip to Louisiana will actually start a little earlier in September as I add on a leg up in Missouri. There’s more in Nov, but I’ll talk about that in a later post. The multi-stop trip beginning late next week has to do with me going up for the Capital Fringe Performance that the Bowen-McCauley Dance Company will be appearing at (http://bmdc.org). They have a short video clip of a rehearsal and Dustin is the guy in the black leotard. Anyway, I’m combining that visit with a return detour through Huntsville where I will be with another dear friend. We missed seeing each other last year, so I’ll pop in for a couple of nights.

I’ve sent word to the Louisiana girlfriends to see if anyone will be around the last Friday of September, although if they aren’t, there’ll be an extra evening to spend with some of the cousins. The Missouri piece has to do with linking in with the Hawaii friend, and no, that isn’t as odd as it sounds. That’s all connected with visiting our mutual parents and me throwing in a couple of extra days to make the logistics work. And if the schedules don’t get screwed up again, all of this will be as new books are coming out. Now, these trips have nothing to do with the major travel in November and December, but as I said, that’s another post.
