Tomorrow!

Brian Strause – Tuesday, August 8 Thurber House Picnic

"Columbus native Brian Strause is a former associate producer for the PBS show The 90s. Strause will read from his debut novel, Maybe a Miracle, about a Columbus family who is transfixed by a series of peculiar, and sometimes humorous, events after an accident leaves an 11-year-old girl in a coma. In Maybe a Miracle, Strause bridges the gap between those who believe in miracles and those who wish they could as he “creates a world that is laugh-out loud funny… provocative and unique,” said People magazine." according to Experience Columbus.

Experience Columbus was providing a special ticket offer to members of the Columbus Insiders Club, check to see if it is still available.

Murder !

A murder case that captivated the nation is the theme of Sharon Hatfield's book ' Never Seen the Moon: The Trials of Edith Maxwell.' Hatfield will read from that book at the Thurber House Picnic on Wednesday, July 26. James Thurber covered the murder back in the day.

The Thurber House website says:

"Sharon Hatfield is an award-winning journalist and a professor at Hocking College in Nelsonville. She will read from her book, Never Seen the Moon: The Trials of Edith Maxwell, about a murder case that captured the attention of the nation and was covered by James Thurber, among other journalists. As a reporter, Hatfield wrote about the Virginia justice system in the same courtroom where Maxwell was tried. She is a contributing editor to American Vein : Critical Readings In Appalachian Literature, an anthology of literary criticism on Appalachian novelists, poets, and playwrights".

Hatfield was the recipient of the 2005 W. D. Weatherford Award for Non-fiction in Appalachian Studies.

I learned a new acronym today. PICNIC. IT people think we (normal people... not IT people ) are PICNICs. I love picnics. Foget about work, it's a long weekend, those computer problems will be there on Tuesday....

Central Ohio in the summer means:

Picnic with the Pops

Schiller Park - Picnicing w/ Actors' Theatre

Ohio State Parks including nearby Alum Creek

Metro Parks

City Parks - Columbus

City Parks - Dublin

City Parks - Hilliard

City Parks - Gahanna

City Parks - Grove City

City Parks - New Albany

City Parks - Powell

City Parks - Upper Arlington

City Parks - Westerville

City Parks - Worthington

Liberty Township Parks

Orange Township Parks

Some communities websites say more about picnicing than others.

Worthington:

"Picnic tables are provided for family outings" in Indianola Park..... I am sure other Worthington parks have picnic tables too.

Dublin:

"Picnic areas are available on a first-come, first-served. Reservations are not accepted."

Info about 'PICNIC's' shared by Greg Cremia of Re/Max Ocean Realty on a real estate forum. I bet they have great places to picnic in the "outer banks" in North Carolina.

No mountains, no oceans but we have cows in Columbus.

P.S. I am working today... Old Worthington Open House bring your picnic...

and remember Worthington's Memorial Day Parade. 10 AM Monday. E. Dublin Granville and South on High Street.
