It's about 80 degrees in Tulsa today and I wish was there. I love warm weather and almost always almost warm up in it. Tomorrow I'll check the web for places of interest in Tulsa, and will also look at a map of the State of Oklahoma. We leave in not quite a month.
I have spent the day so far writing, working on chapter 3 of my book. After reading Prose's book on reading and writing, I understand more about the task I'm faced with. Write once, re-write a thousand times. I have done one re-write, which included the large task of putting the book into the first person Dorothea (age 50) perspective with a sidekick being third person omnisient voice for the things that Dorothea cannot see or hear. I had envisioned the book being written from first person Rebecca (age 13), but that's too hard for this first-time novel writer. It's possible that I'll do the whole book in third person omniscient. There's a lot of work to be done. My questions continue: Who saw what? Who knows what? Why did she do that?
Do you know that when you read, the story is more believable if the writer adds detail? I saw a movie recently where the story was too tragic to want to believe, and yet one of the main characters, in one of the most difficult scenes, ordered key lime pie and a Tab. I knew that I was seeing the re-enactment of something that had truly happened. It was the detail of what she ordered that did it for me.
What is there to see in Tulsa?

80 degrees in Tulsa sounds fabulous. I wonder how humid it will be there in June. One place we will see for sure is Cain's Ballroom, location of the first Annual Red Dirt Festival (among many other notable events).
I wonder where we can go to take in some good red dirt music. Anyone have some ideas?
