This is going to be a good day, although it will be hard to top yesterday.  It’s been a while since I put my feet in cool creek water.

Every day at the CWVWP Summer Institute, we have a scribe, someone who keeps note of the day’s festivities, writes an “article” about it, and posts in on the National Writing Project’s web site.  Today… that person… is me.

I’d like to think I’m pretty observant.  There is a quote from the movie “In the Land of Women” that makes me smile… because I can relate:

Carter Webb: I pride myself on being this great listener, but whenever I meet somebody new I find I’m doing all the talking.
Sarah Hardwicke: Maybe you’re not really such a great listener.
Carter Webb: Hmm?
Sarah Hardwicke: Maybe you’re not such a great listener.
Carter Webb: No that’s not it, I’m a great listener.

So, wish me luck today.  I’m hoping I can stay focused on what goes on and do the group justice by posting a good description of our day.

Oh, and I’m going to pick up my new glasses today.  I’ll get some of my writing from yesterday posted ASAP.
