            I have just written a Christmas story, my first.  
I wonder if I should offer it to a magazine.

                                            Black-and-white picture of two children playing in woodland. Also in the picture, there are 12 hidden animals including an owl, a bat and a squirrel.
                                                
    
    
    
    
            An observation test for you - for your inner 8 year-old
“The artist has hidden 12 things in this picture. How many can you find?”

                                            What people think I study: A werewolf, an old book, a fairy.
What I actually study: Mending nets, a Wardruna concert, an animal rights protest.
                                                
    
    
    
    
            Folklorists study a lot more than traditional beliefs and narratives! Here's a selection of photos from my research. 
Bottom Row: Mending a fishing net in field school, conducting ethnomusicology research at a Wardruna concert, field work at an animal rights protest.

                                            Graham Greene, Canadian Actor Who Portrayed Indigenous Characters, Dies at
73
The First Nations actor, who appeared in
"Dances With Wolves" and other Hollywood blockbusters, remained active in Canadian film, theater and television.
                                                
    
    
    
    
            I hope when Kevin Costner dies his obituary identifies him as “American Actor Who Portrayed White Characters”
