I can’t believe it!  Really, I just can’t!  I haven’t had much time to get to my office this summer – sadly – so I haven’t been able to update my site much.  I do have a little time tonight where I can remind everyone to sign up for the Building Stories Workshop at the Jonathan Bourne Public Library starting on the 23rd at 1:00pm – it only runs 2 weeks – but it will still be a ton of fun!  Make sure you call today!

I will also start a Building Stories Workshop at the Kingston Library on the 30th at 5:30pm.  This will run the full 4 weeks – it’s a great opportunity to get your kids into the spirit of fun, creative writing and ready for school to begin (in week or so after the workshop ends… can you believe it?)

Keep in mind – take a look at the Upcoming Shows Page for all the remaining Summer shows – try to make it to them all!  The pics are of the Johnny Appleseed statue at the Johhny Appleseed rest stop in Leominster.  The pic below is because I can’t help myself sometimes…

 

The last vacation I went on was my honeymoon… eight years ago.  Amazingly, I usually don’t think about vacations.  I’m not the kind of person who feels he needs a vacation – my life is pretty fun as it is – but my wife convinced me it was time to take our little family to New Hampshire to visit Storyland.  I have to say – it was a blast!  I found out my daughter is a fan of rollercoaters and tea cups.  Now, of course, it is time to get back to work!  The latter end of  the week off was fun and all – but Summer is just getting started around these parts!  What follows below os my hectic schedule this week – mark your calendars!

• Monday: Holmes Public Library, Halifax @ 6:30pm
• Tuesday: Bourne Library @ 10:00am
• Tuesday: Hull Family Network @ 6:30pm
• Wednesday: Bellingham Library @ 11:00am

and

• Friday, July 4th: Bridgewater Festival @12:00pm

This kid seriously can’t get any cuter.

 

Today, Friday, June 6th is national doughnut day – and Dunkin’ Donuts is giving away a free one when you buy a beverage!  Come doughnut lovers – UNITE!  Let’s all have some delicious sweet dough together.  What’s your favorite doughnut?  Say so on my FB page here! Like the page while you’re there!

I was going to save this until October – but in reality I found this book last April in one of the Boston Public Libraries and have had it in the arsenal ever since.  I thought it was time to break it out and let the world know how much I love this book!  It’s a hilarious look at monsters and a little boy who wasn’t afraid to help them look their best!

I will be starting my day off tomorrow at the Pine-Fest where I will have the chance to tell my tales in the State Forest!  I am thinking that Wolf and Moose will be the most at home there – so most likely that is who will be joining me.  Make sure you come – get out of the rain – and have a blast with me tomorrow at Pine-Fest!  My shows begins at 10:30am!

Starts TODAY! Well, more accurately, this evening. Call the library if you’d like to register and join us. Click the link below for more information – see you tonight!

I remember being a young kid seeing the kids from my school get their pictures in the paper for various reasons.  Sports, events… I was always jealous.  I wanted to do something that would get my picture in the paper.  Now, I have been in the paper quite a few times and I have to say, I feel like that little kid again everytime I see a pic of myself in print, this time, proud that I made it into the paper.

The clip above is from a paper in NH where I was in early March this year.  Thank you to my Aunt who not only saw the pic – but cut it out and sent it to me.

Here is the awesome crowd of children waiting for me to start my show at the Independence Mall today – and when I began a whole lot more came!  It was fantastic!  What a turn out!  Even better – I put up a “password” on my Facebook page to say to me after the show for a prize and a great number of kids did it!  Thanks for that!  I’ll be doing it again and again – so if you haven’t liked my Facebook page yet – click here – and do it today!
