No one noticed we passed the Nine Year Anniversary of My Omaha Obsession except my calendar and I. I was bedridden with illness and watched the passing date as many strange fever dreams weaved about. Needless to say, I was nowhere near pounding away at my typewriter, adorned in my customary printed housecoat, feathered boa satin mules and a turban that had been fashionable in the early forties. No, it has been a dreadful week for fashion, investigation and my hair-do. I do hope this fever and decrepit mindset is concluding, for everyone in the home has acknowledged in various scowling tones that I simply must summon the fortitude to walk these rooms with my gay personality and frivolous commentary once more. Even the furried ones implored. Having surpassed the quiet celebration of our incredible ninth year together, I have come with what I hope is equally exhilarating news.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Radio Talking Book Service: Nebraska’s Audio Companion will broadcast my book, My Omaha Obsession: Searching for the City, beginning Monday, March 10th at 1:00 PM CT, live on air. It will be showcased in their Nebraska Bookshelf program, which airs Monday through Friday at 1:00 PM. At this time they were uncertain about the total number of parts. (And we know I can be a bit verbose; the duration of this My Omaha Obsession series is uncertain. Amusement is found.) To listen, visit rtbs.org  and select LISTEN LIVE. You can access it on your computer, tablet, and smartphone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you cannot listen “live,” I anticipate uploading the whole reading to this website, My Omaha Obsession, in the future. So check in for that later.

 

 

 

 

Radio Talking Book Service has linked those who are blind, visually impaired, or print impaired to news, information, arts, and culture via human narration and technology for the last fifty years. I personally appreciate their offerings due to its soothing effect. The human voice, the turning of pages, the unexpected moments of exquisite, perfect imperfections evoke nostalgia for the cherished local radio days of old. (Thank you for not using A.I.) They do amazing work and I am honored to be included. Radio Talking Book Service is a calm in the storm of what passes for entertainment these days.

As for our architectural adventures, I am alive and have been investigating the most exciting, demanding case of my short detective career. I am sleuthing at the bequest of two curious, like minded women who wrote in. I hope to have it completed shortly. This article is begging to be released from my hands. Below is a clue.
