A man walked into a restaurant and asked for a lobster tail.

The waitress smiles and says “Well… I am no Big Ryan, but let me try. ‘Once there was a handsome lobster named Stan…'”

Sometimes, on days as beautiful as Tuesday was, I am reminded just how lucky I am to be able to be Big Ryan and travel all over this beautiful state. This was the sky as I was able to share my stories against on Tuesday at the North Falmouth Library. Thank you to all who came out and I hope you enjoyed this gorgeous sight as much as I did!

My schedule is slowing down but I am still out there EVERYDAY this week! Come to either the North Falmouth and Westborough libraries for some great storytelling open to everyone!
