The Daves of Our Lives
Posted on May 05, 2021
I currently have three Daves in my life – my boyfriend, my best friend, and my work friend – and each of them deserves a medal for putting up with me for so many years.

Simpson is the boyfriend, Badesch is my longtime friend, and Jones is my work buddy.

Which Room Would You Choose?
Posted on November 11, 2020
The Woodson Art Museum has a new addition to its campus perched along North 12th Street. You might think it’s a birdhouse; it’s not, yet it does have roosts and portals to peek through and discover surprises inside. Although not a library, it does contain books ready for you to read or ideas to inspire a new creation. It’s the Stop-by Studio, filled with free Art Kits and books for all to keep or share.
