It's Time

The summer offered me a goodly number of distractions this year. An exciting start to the Brewers season finally turned me into a bit of a baseball fan. Politics had a herky-jerky attraction, but the one-two punch of the Obama acceptance speech and the McCain VP announcement finally grabbed me by the lapels and shook me into the pol-watchers fray. Oh, and I and my family moved, setting up shop a few blocks east of our old house. Clearing away 18 years worth of domestic detritus and weathering a home sale and purchase in the current market kept my hands and mind from getting too idle.
But the season is upon us. I've already been doing several preview interviews on WUWM's "Lake Effect," and writing a survey of the arts season for Milwaukee Magazine's September issue. Next week, you will start seeing regular postings here and on my Culture Club blog. And hearing me chat with Bonnie North every Friday on Lake Effect's "Arts on Deck." It's now available as a podcast. Stay tuned for more on that.
Until then....
