The role of a renowned author is not all tea and skittles, especially around the house. I still have to do the dishes every night, take out the garbage, and vacuum ( I just put that in because I love to write the word vacuum.) What I am trying to say is that my life has not changed very much. For instance, several years ago I thought it would be nice if the Price Hill Historical Society had a Speakers' Bureau, a group of people who could go out into the community and give little talks on subjects of interest to the community. It did not prove to be very successful. So far I am the only one who has volunteered, and my only contribution is a one-pony show about the old Price Hill Incline. But the show has been pretty well received. I have done it twenty-three times, often with some mishaps, and never the same way twice. Should you be interested, I am bringing my pony to the Delhi Branch Library this Tuesday, September 1, at 7:00 pm. It will be about the Inclines of Cincinnati, and there won’t really be any tiny horses involved, but you can be sure there will be mishaps.
