Ladies’ Pond

No. 10 Pond is where I go swimming in the summer. All kinds of people go there. Kids, grownups,  grandparents, mothers and fathers, dogs. But ALWAYS there is a group of ladies....standing thigh deep in the pond, talking together.

All over the world since the beginning of time, ladies of a certain age have been standing thigh deep in water together, talking. It’s a scientific fact.

So here in my town, for hundreds of years--even before recorded history--pieces of these ladies conversations have been drifting around on the pond. This is a show about No. 10 Pond, and the ladies who stand in it.

Thanks to all the kids and families and dogs and loons and crows that were there that day on the pond. And the trumpet guy.

Huge thanks to Chelsea Edgar for her edits.  Thank you Jay Allison for listening to my mix and thank you Jeff Towne for giving me so much good advice…about whales.
