OK. the story of how i met a danish woman.

not sure if i already blogged it, but if network can have repeats....
little backstory. germans and danish LOVE native americans.
racine, WI is full of danish immigrants and kringle makers.kringle? insanely good danish sweet baked,um....pastry. in denmark there are 2 flavors. pecan and almond. or is it walnut?

well, racine started a sister city thing with ebeltoft, denmark. the eagle river of denmark. EAGLE RIVER!?!
what's the top gunesque comedy with charlie sheen?

well, the racinites told benedicte that we had plenty of injuns 'up nort'. we had what we call reservations. SO, she goes up to Crandon and starts collecting native tales and songs.

oh, benedicte is the head creative force behind a children's um,...playhouse. sort of the Mr.Rogers, sesame street of denmark and heavily in muic for kids. OH, she is the danish raffi.
you can check out her webpage. search Tante andante hus.

while she is there, she stops into a little gallery/coffee shop in three lakes which is close to crandon. and there she spots these naive colorful animals. perfect for he stories. but no loon. what a shame, BUT benedicte will not be denied. she gets my phone # and calls me.
'Do you have a loon?'
well no. i do not have a loon, but i can draw you one.
