Here, there and everywhere!

It's been a long few weeks. Long but satisfying. 

These are photos from the Frozen River Film Festival in Winona, Minnesota. "Tales of the Road" was a featured film. 

I did a little presentation afterward to a very

responsive audience. There's no small amount of satisfaction when viewers laugh at the "right" times or let out a collective "huh!" when some key piece of information is revealed. 

Books were sold by Chris Livingston who owns the local bookstore. I'm pleased that so many people liked the movie and then wanted to read the book. Which is better---book or film? I'll leave it up to readers and viewers. I'm wondering if doing another book, an updated book, is worth it. There have been a lot of changes along the highway since the book was published in October of 2008. I'm smitten with the old road guides that include advertising from the twenties and thirties and wonder whether something like that would work today. Something else to ponder. 

A final note: Look at the below photo. Note the gentleman in the beret over my shoulder.  That is Coffee John. A fan of TOTR and quite a guy. A shout-out to John!
