Cleveland, OH
Ruth and I are in Cleveland, OH - taking a break from her two-week long residency teaching poetry at Ashland University’s MFA writing program. I joined her for the week, and have been doing a bit of work, and a good bit of writing.
I’m sitting at a cafe, namely Arabica’s cafe, in University Circle. This Arabic was not here when I lived here 20 years ago. There was a single Arabica that had just opened up in Coventry - a fun place to hang out, with people playing chess and go in the back. I was there for countless afternoons and evenings reading and writing, as I was finishing my dissertation.
It’s fun to be in Cleveland, and interesting. I am remembering all of the things I liked about it when I lived here.
Next, back home, time to start thinking about packing, moving, and all of the next steps.

Get out! S is from Cleveland, and I have worked in that Arabica on multiple occasions!

Really? Wow. It’s amazing how much has changed since I was left 20 years ago.
Anyway, small world!
