About Me

My photo
Since 1984, my light commentary, Marginal Considerations, has been a feature of Weekend Radio. Moving into the 21st century (yeah, I know - a decade late and more than a dollar short), it may be time to explore the format known as "the blog." (Still on the radio, BTW.) I am the author of A Natural History of Socks, illustrated by the late Eric May, You May Already Be a Winner (and other marginal considerations) and The Nonexistence of Rutabagas, plus maybe 1K features, essays, book and arts reviews in newspapers and magazines nearly everywhere, except perhaps Kansas. I live on Lake Erie one city to the west of Cleveland with too many musical instruments, several large plants and no cats. My front door is purple. I collect dust, take up space and burn fossil fuel. I kayak, knit, hike, sing, canoe, write choral music and play hammered dulcimer, but not all at the same time. I read too much and don't write enough, but what's new?

yet more signage

I spent the weekend with a group of music friends (more on that later). A few additional contributions to the growing collection of dubiously worded signs:
Spotted on the east side of Cleveland - "Free Art for Sale."
From a joint on the eastern shore of Maryland - "Crabs and Oysters Dance Tonight." I'd pay real money to see that, wouldn't you? (I wonder if the legless oysters just sort of act as castanets, a sort of  rhythm section for the dancing crabs . . )

(if youdidn't see it, back up to the post that started it all - "Say What?"  posted April 28)
