Luckily there is a lot of good change.<br /><br />wsake, I hated cappuccino for years. I recall my mom hoping I'd like it one day. I told her it would never happen. Now it is rare that I go a day without my morning cappuccino.<br /><br />Pretty Neat Designs, Oh no. That seems like such a fun memory to return to. I wonder how they'll fill the space. Maybe a new tradition?<br /><br />Zoomie, I spent some time at SFAI too. I just graduated with my MFA in 2007. It is a special place. I'm pretty darn sure he's French.

Your writing is not describable in words, it is more of a feeling. We go up to the U.P of MI in the summer and I always looked forward to listening to a local call-in program hosted by a guy named Jay Barry. We didn't go to the U.P. last summer and this summer we learned he had retired in 2009.
