A little different of a show this week.

I headed up to St. Lawrence county in upstate New York to visit friends. While there, Dave Beck and I took a snowshoe hike along the Red Sandstone Trail following the Raquette River from Hannawa Falls to Potsdam. The show this week is the first hour of that hike along with some background information about the North Country, as they call it.

I Love You / I Love You Not

From Andy Sewell | 21:29

In the early 1930s, a boy played a prank on a girl. The girl, Doris Kelly Hall, swore revenge. What followed was over 70 years of harassing limericks, prose, holiday cards and poems written by a scorned and determined woman.

Equal parts humor and honesty, local women read selections from the writings of Doris Kelly Hall. On the surface, the body of work seems like the rantings of a sociatal fringe self professed cat lady. But a deeper look reveals life long love and the meaningful connection we all desire.
