Cathryn Wellner 's Video for World Storytelling Day

It is raining. Poring. The thunderclaps are preventing anyone from snoring. March 20, 2011 is World Storytelling Day. There are events that are celebration of the tradition of oral storytelling.

Untitled from Cathryn Wellner on Vimeo.



There is the official web site http://worldstorytellingday.webs.com where you can see if there is something happening in your area.

There is also a website called World Storytelling Day that is associated with another site called Get Storied. That is a web site that deals with the business application of storytelling.

Whew! Anyway the video is a lovely tale about how Cathryn Wellner met her partner through a flood. Life happens when you make other plans.

SIS Oral History Project - Mrs. Ann Cooper

This past weekend I asked an older poet when she would give me permission to record her on video. Her response was, "Probably never."



I respect her decision and will allow a few more months to elapse on before I ask again. But this video by the Spellman Oral History Project is the reason I keep asking older women to allow themselves to be recorded.

Mrs. Cooper at 108 has made her transition to the upper realm. In this short video she has graced us with a life that is far deeper than we know and has possible clues about on how shall we go forward.

Weight Loss For Deb

It is the time when the oppressive infomercials appear on broadcast and cable television. And the diet ads. And the Perfect people who implore you to spend mega bucks on getting the perfect body.

What if you are a real person? A person with a body that you have to take care of but you will never, ever be 5 feet and 7 inches? You know what? You do what you can where you can.



This is Deb Roby and she is demonstrating 10 examples of stuff you can do from home. Deb has a blog called Weight Loss for Deb where she talks about the truth of losing and gaining weigh.

It is a challenge and a process that does not involve tanning, Daisy Dukes or greasing up your legs so that they shine pretty for the camera.

DJ Ruth - Age 69

Maybe this aging thing is underrated. So long as you got the beat it is a life long house party.



This is DJ Ruth.

For my Mom :: Food as Currency

Makes me cry. Experimenting with iMovie's export for iTunes. No frills. It copied the file into the iTunes directory as well as left a copy in the movies folder. Not too bad. Unfamiliar with whether the m4v format will play for my subscribers, be transcoded by Blip to flash, or flow down the RSS feed. Here goes nuthin'.

Grace :: The Story of the Remote :: Dirty Joke

Learn to listen.

Here's a telling of "The Story of the Remote".

The image is from an earlier post wherein I show you part of the woman who speaks in this podcast

The upside of the dismal-looking and feeling foot situation is that she has a better way to flip her husband the bird.

She is my hero.

Her humor in the face of enormous pain astonishes and inspires.

Music is "Mother's Blues" from Jeff Kelley's Classic Acoustic Blues album - about whom I've written in this space before.
