Today’s Run:  5.20 miles

Today has been an unreal day.  A “Pinch me, I’m dreaming” kind of a day.  Not in a bad way, mind you, but in a WOW!  This is very flattering and I am very excited about it, kind of a day.

What has me all in a dither???  I thought you would NEVER ask!

First, we must backtrack a little bit.

You all know that I write children’s stories for a regional magazine.  These stories are based on my chickens.  The main character is my hen, Ed Stakrispie (Extra Crispy) and her companion, Ginger, the Hen.  Together, they solve a mystery surrounding the goings on in the hen yard.  We have a FB fan page and everything!

My son, is a student at MSU (Mississippi State University) and he knows the German professor there pretty well.  She always asks how my chickens are doing.

In passing conversation, my son had mentioned the stories to the German professor and she went out and picked up one of the magazines.  That was a nice thing for her to do.

She.Loved.The.Stories!

She talked to my son today and asked for permission from me.  See, she wants to use my stories in her German classes!  She wants to use them as a translation assignment in her classes!!!

How.Awesome.Is.That!?!

So, Ed Stakrispie will soon be available in both English and German for your perusal.
