The Friday night gallery opening at bela dubby was amazing. A small group of artists, Mischel, Lee Norris, Derryl Strong and myself, showcased illustration and photography based on storytelling. It was a great night, around 60 degrees, so guests frequently moved about from outside to in, taking on the energy of the air since it felt like early Spring. The guests brought friends, cameras, and delightful food.
The nibbles were amazing, with cheeses, dips, and breads. Thanks to those that contributed and to all that attended. There’s already a buzz about when the next art show will be. We hope to do it again soon, grabbing even more local artists and hopefully next time raising funds for a local charity.
Until then, I will be sure to keep you posted.
A brief glance of the show:

As I watched UFC 90, I realized how far the sport has come. A few years ago it was a business on the borderline of failure. The sport was labeled to be too brutal and unorganized. We now have bars packed with mixed martial art fans ready and excited to see every UFC Pay-Per-View release. These fans have migrated from boxing and wrestling to support the growth of these talented fighters based on the precision marketing strategies of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
It wasn’t a dream

On center stage, Monday night football got to see the Cleveland Browns beat an undefeated New York Giants team.
Like many Browns fans we get prepared and hope for the best. We hope that there won’t be a repeat performance of the pre-season Browns/Giants matchup. We hope that if we lose, we only lose by a little. We hope that we don’t fumble on the 2 yard line to give up the win.
We did nothing of the sort. We did trick plays. We threw bombs (and caught them). We PLAYED DEFENSE. For Browns fans, this was the best we have seen the team in years. To have this sort of performance when we really needed it feels great. Actually staying up to watch the post game show felt great. Driving into work to listen to the recap all over again…FEELS GREAT.
Go Browns!!!
