Random Reader Things

The threethings that drive this episode are from a friend and former colleague, Alford Kindred. He doesn’t have a blog, but if you’re interested in connecting with someone who has terrific mentoring and coaching skills (particularly where motivating kids is concerned), you can find Alford’s profile on LinkedIn.  His random reader things are Resilience, Transparent, and Willie Foo Foo. 

As sometimes happens with my “3 Things” method of storytelling, the conversation about the random reader things brought a fourth thing that I couldn’t resist adding.  This time it came from discussing transparent and the difficulties of getting complete information — “The truth is there.”

Random Reader Things

This intro is all about “Girl Power.”  That’s appropriate since the threethings that drive the episode are from Darlene Foster, author of the Amanda Travels series.  Her random reader things are Land Girls (aka Women’s Land Army), Bomber Jacket, and Spam.

Tidbits of Truth

There’s a touch of reality in this atom-punk fantasy.  While I was preparing to start this serial, I mentioned “the Calutron Girls.”  Last time they finally came into the storytelling.  There are a number of books about these high school girls, most of whom were from eastern and middle Tennessee.  You can learn a lot at this Wikipedia article too.

Three Random Reader Things

This episode features “things” from Beth at the I Didn’t Have My Glasses On blog.  Beth’s three things are Post Office, Bicycle, and Tomatoes.  I know I’ve used bicycle already, but it’s back with the rest of her “things.”  

Tidbits of Truth

There’s one hairstyle for women that I always associate with the World War II Ear.  I didn’t know the name for it until I researched.  It’s “Victory rolls.”Learn more about it here.

I’m giving a nod via the names for some new, probably minor characters. Although only the things know for sure if they will remain minor.  I used a book and film of the era, “To Have and Have Not” for their names. The nod…
