Great time in Nebraska

I'm just back from the Norfolk Literary Festival in Norfolk, Nebraska.  Flew into Omaha, and then drove north.  Beautiful countryside!  I had no idea Nebraska was so green and rolling.  The folks at the Norfolk Library were terrific.  I had some talented kids in my workshop -- we had lots of fun writing and sharing what we wrote.  I found out from our host that Norfolk is where Johnny Carson grew up.  We drove by his old house and heard stories about his favorite teacher from grade school.  On my last night we drove back to Omaha to have dinner before my flight out.  What a lovely city!  Thanks to the Norfolk Library folks for making my time there so special.
