FORGIVE ME, please

I think in food cliches. People like me are the reason pumpkin pie candles are sold scores of people longing for fall.  And, when I think of Colorado, I think of hot chocolate after skiing.  Hot chocolate after skiing is lovely, but Colorado is home to some of the finest restaurants in the US.  They deserve more consideration that my cliched hot chocolate.  I apologize.  This next Call is from Colorado; maybe there will be hot chocolate at the reception.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Art Center of Estes Park (Estes Park, Colorado) for Lines into Shapes.  Enter your work for as little as $15.  You’ve got a little time, but don’t procrastinate…
