I started this blog in March 2006, wrote on it for a while, and then in November of that year the Telegraph Journal asked me to write a weekly column on the arts beginning the following January. The blog fell by the wayside. I have tried to resurrect it at times, but working on "my own writing"--novel, non-fiction--plus the column and various organizations' newsletters left me no time. Last December my column ended after 11 years. I miss having a place to print my ramblings, so I am resurrecting the blog.
