Saturday and Up for Air

Buried once again in a long track, this time close to an hour long with so many parts to deal with, Plotnik rises for air on Saturday afternoon. No blog yesterday? What was yesterday?

Well, last night was Plot and Duck's first show of the year. The wonderful story teller Jeff Greenwald brought his "Strange Travel Stories" to the Marsh in Berkeley. He told three travel stories. The first, Plot and Duck had heard before, about a hike through rural Nepal, involving an unfortunate roast chicken. The second was about an astonishing scuba dive at dawn in the Philippines. But the third was the really funny one -- a description of the "Left Luggage" shed at the Culcutta Airport.

You listen to Jeff tell stories and you want to get out of town and see the rest of the world. At least, Plotnik does. So many pin-less holes in the map.
