Today is Day 33 that I've been back in Brisbane. As can be confirmed prior to me leaving in October... I'm done with this town. The weather has been FABULOUS as have the frequent bush romps in coastal wonderlands north and south of me... but I need to move. The move requirement is distracting from my work. Since I'm old now, I can make generalized cliche Artist statements like 'I can't work in these conditions!' and 'It's critical that such and...

So long, in fact, that I escaped to the greater New York City...
I realize I have this webpage... but I think I need one with some type of 'gretchen' ring to it. And I think I need a last name. Sure I've got a few of those already on ID cards and certificates, now I need one for a web address. I'm going to use 'cello'. I adore cello music and 'gretchen cello' sounds like a Writer's name.
