Sometimes here in Cleveland we just don't appreciate what we have, Then we bitch and moan about not having this and that and the great stuff unsupported just drifts away. How often have I heard artists say, "no one buys my work here, so I have to market in location X"? and "I do great there..."

Sometimes late at night I watch dance online...

‘Arresting and inventive work’

I have a laptop. (A slow starter/late adopter you're thinking.) It was a holiday gift that was meant to free me from my house. I can get out and write, correspond, research anywhere I can get online. But the cold weather and my deep appreciation for my home environment and my dogs have kept me in the house. Now, however, I sit most days in the sunny breakfast room of my 89 year old Cleveland Heights home and write surrounded by windows.
