charlie's acting, writing, radio, etc. site

Found this guy Charlie Schroeder's intriguing site today in a search for Chinese New Year. Since I'm an occasional listener to public radio's Only a Game, I may have heard his work when I'm half asleep but awake early on a Saturday morning. But about the Chinese New Year, he did a little radio piece that's pretty funny. Wonder what Liang Jing Dong would say about this?

Now this has got me wondering about the name Charlie. I've only known a few in my life, but every single one of them is quite a character. Of course maybe it's just a self-fulfilling prophecy. You meet someone named Charlie and you expect them to be unsual and they proceed to meet your expectation.

up on the roof

 

With today's warm weather snow on the roof started melting and some of the runoff ended up where it shouldn't, so I climbed up on the front porch roof to take a look and discovered a different way to frame the Wasatch mountains.

white hot

 

Looking at this now, the snow and the red sign look too intense. But no photoshopping's been done. This is just how the camera captured it.

tell it again, rick

I met Utah writer Rick Walton at a library conference last year. He's quiet, talented, creative, funny, thoughtful, persistent, wise, and just a family guy with an extraordinary career. I bought his book Bertie was a Watchdog and highly recommend it. Rick's also got a great page that encourages the creative retelling of Goldilocks through The Goldilocks Project, 203 versions and counting.
