Where is our Yellerpup?
Anyone seen her lately?
And very soon CBayer will be off on a grand adventure and away from C&B. Bon voyage!

Still undergoing a flare of rheumatoid arthritis. Mr. Pup has been doing all the cooking since April and I have ups and downs with the condition all the time. I am, however, getting better. It is slow progress, but progress nonetheless. I had to cancel my appearance at the Oklahoma City Theatre Company's play festival this year and I especially wanted to go because they produced (for the first time in Oklahoma!) my monologue, "Sparrow," about the OKC bombing on the anniversary of the OKC bombing. Then I wrote a ten minute play that has been picked up by two festivals, the Red Shirt 10-Minute Play Festival (mine was one of ten), produced on a fancy rooftop a few steps west of 5th Avenue (Flat Iron Building) in NYC and it will be produced also at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles on November 10-11th in the New Native Voices 10-Minute Play Festival (one of six finalists). The first festval was exciting but exhausting and set me back somewhat, but I am regaining strength now. I save my hands for writing because the contest play, "Hoop Jumper" is the first scene of the first play of a trilogy and interest seems to be building demand. I didn't think I'd get another swing at my age, but now I have two thirds of the trilogy under my belt and am working on the third now.
Now I need to find cbayer and see what she's up to! Thanks for thinking of me, grasswire. I have missed my C&B buddies. 
I was about to post on this, but grasswire beat me to it.
Thanks Grasswire!
I'm sure sorry to hear about the fact that you couldn't go to OK because of your flare-up. I know how enthusiastic you are about the theater. What a disappointment, yes? So few get such an opportunity in the first place.

Is that redundant? Even though I have been challenged physically I am happier than I have been for years. All of a sudden I'm 'getting in' and even had a piece of my novel read in the Remembrance Project - Trail of Tears at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe last month. It was a benefit for the American Indian Community House in Manhattan and very moving, with music, poetry, history, movement, and dance without being a pageant. Most gratifying. I go out as much as I can, but for the time being it is difficult to move and I have to be driven everywhere, but my dear Mr. Pup has been a real champion and we are adapting to it very well. I still expect to regain remission and look forward to a lot more movement in the future.
