I’m sens­ing new kinds of life in Cleve­land; or at least com­ing out of my year-​long infant-​induced social hiber­na­tion. In the past cou­ple of weeks I’ve got­ten my mitts, mugs and mallei prepo­si­tioned by all kinds of var­i­ous NEO.neo-creativity.

Of course, I’m sure behind the times with a bit of most of it. My schtick seems to be ‘per­ma­nently late to the party’.

I’ve been try­ing to get my fin­gers into these sort of things for awhile now, but I seem to be all thumbs. Hope­fully not so much any more. I’m race­horse ready for warm weather action. Are you going to get your hands dirty?
