Purports

 Dear NPR reporter Ryan Lucas: Using the word "purports" 3-4 times on air in less than a minute has probably sent thousands of listeners rushing to their dictionaries; don't do it again!

Rejected!

From the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County:

Dear Lenny,

Thank you for submitting your application for consideration to Printed Voices, an exhibition presented by the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County. While the selection panel appreciated the thoughtfulness of your submission and the artistry in your materials, your work was not selected for this exhibition.

We appreciate the time and care you put into your application, and we hope you'll consider applying for future AHCMC opportunities. We received a strong and wide-ranging pool of submissions this year, and our selection panel had a genuinely difficult task narrowing the field. 

If you are on our email list we will keep you informed of upcoming calls for art within the gallery and AHCMC’s other programs. Thank you again for sharing your work with us. We wish you continued success in your artistic practice.

Kind regards,

Stéphane

This very special outdoor place could easily be one the top 10 spots in all of Maine to wonder about! Hundreds and hundreds of hand-made stone sculptures in an immensely beautiful setting make it an outdoor delight as one wonders around the many ponds in the quarry. If you're lucky, you'll run into the sculptors.

Of course I loved this dolmen...

Founded by artist Jesse Salisbury and featuring the Obadiah Buell Sculpture Studio, as an artist myself, I was seduced immediately! Also, the ancient Pict in me was reawakened by all the standing stones.
