Watching "Manhattan" for the 78th time tonight. I love the part where Woody Allen talks about things that make life worth living. I have a friend that I am passing the movie along to-- She's never seen it! I envy her- I wish I could watch both Manhattan and Annie Hall for the first time.
Something that makes life worth living: this salad on a rainy Thursday.

ABC's
My friend Lizzy helped design this booklet written by Steven Litt (the architecture critic for the Plain Dealer). I was really inspired by the turnout for the party- so many people supporting the notion of a better Cleveland.
Can better design in a city attract and retain people that are financially and emotionally invested in making it great? And is it putting the cart before the horse to invest in sustainable design when a city like Cleveland is struggling so much? I live down the street from the projects, so my point A is completely different from my neighbors. Is that a positive thing, that will lead to a place that is good on different levels? Or am I being naive to think that better bicycle lanes make a better city?

Hallo, autumn!
Someone told me that if you feel you want to get something off the ground, just start doing it- don't wait until it's perfect, because perfection doesn't exist. So.
Even though it's been a looong (sigh) time since I've been on an academic year, I still think of fall of a time of new beginnings- a bouquet of pencils, a new Trapper Keeper, crispy jeans. It's a perfect time to start a new project. Here's my project. I wanted to start a blog so that I would be pushed to report on the small things that make life sweet. I'm calling it Sweet Heartland because (at the moment) I live in the midwest. But I also think that any place you feel a connection to is a Heartland.
