The Conversation
Announcer : Yes, viewers welcome back to Conversations , with your host, Guede Nibo !
<There are loud applause as Guede Nibo walks onto the spotlit stage, accompanied by the sound of a band playing somewhere off stage right. Two purple and black striped chairs sit facing one another. A small, circular, silver table sits between them. Seated upon it is a pitcher and two glasses. The camera and spotlight follows Nibo as he shakes hands with the audience who sits in the darkness outside the view of the spotlight. The music cuts as Nibo takes to center stage, while applause continue.>
GN: Thank you, thank you … and thank you !

A Christmas Post
Christmas Eve came on a Wednesday this year, and although school had been excused for over the past week and a half, with many more days off to come, the excitement of Christmas Day was almost palpable throughout the town’s youth. The adults had been well engaged, lights having been hung about the downtown La Plata area, decorating the streetlights and businesses down Main Street. Advertisements for A Christmas Carol were backlit on the Port Tobacco Player’s marquee, although the stage would be closed for the holiday in preparation for the 1981 season.
Only Twelve Days More… (another shameless promotion)
Our current campaign is moving along slowly, so the story is still being written and we hope to get something out early in the next year. ‘Cause haven’t we all just had enough with 2020 ?
It’s the Most Creepiest Time of Year !
Winter has always held a, well, … “chill” … over my senses when it comes to comparing it with the other seasons. I think the first I noted it was when I saw A Christmas Carol (I think the earliest one I can remember was the 1984 version with George C. Scott, albeit I think I remember a black and white one from 1951 which I am sure I saw previous to this), and so always associated the winter season with tales of ghosts . This time of year also marked the family’s yearly trip to Massachusetts, and driving past the road signs to Sleepy Hollow as we passed through New York solidified this belief, and as we passed by the signs of Salem, ever drifting into Lovecraft country, my mind would race with wild tales.
Howard Moon had it right : Ice flow, nowhere to go…Lost in the blinding whiteness of the tundra….Arctic Death - Infinite night.
