> ART&AFFLUENCE

Beginning November 6th, JOPLIN TRI-STATE BUSINESS, will publish a special section of their periodical, entitled "Art&Affluence"

I am, thusfar, the contributing columnist... albeit in NO way a journalist.

They have set a goal of having a website by January, 2007.

I believe in them.

So should you.

> SHOWME THE OZARKS MAGAZINE

Missourah, is the "Show Me" state. That's my story, and I've stuck to it. Lord knows.

This morning I committed to one article monthly featuring an Ozark artist not of MY personal or professional choice... in exchange for a squib.

What they want to do is to feature a monthly artist, in accord with the passing of the seasons.

I like that idea, very much. It fits with our regional Ozark ways.

KEEP the home fires burnin'

I believe in them.

So should you.
