An artist-naturalist splashes through streams of consciousness... often, it's even her own...

I'm deliriously, happily married to Rick. We have a basenji named Cleopatra and 3 manic (as a result of the dog) cats. They all appear on the blog regularly, as does the garden. On occasion, you may mistake this for the local Ag Report, but I assure you I am an artist, and eventually my work will make an appearance. In the meantime, I find enjoyment in life's daily distractions. We work to be part of the solution in Cleveland as members of a giving circle called The Cleveland Colectivo, giving microgrants to grassroots neighborhood projects throughout Cleveland and the inner-ring suburbs. Rick and I are avid bike riders, and we captain a BikeMS team called Patti's Paladins. Visit our team website pattispaladins.com to learn how you can help us fight Multiple Sclerosis. Join us for a ride!

Somehow, we Irish always seem to be able to find a way of attributing Good US presidents' qualities to their Irish roots. "Aaaah, yes, smart, sensible Kennedy, truly a West Cork native..." "There's nothing like the Irish charm of Bill Clinton, isn't there?".
But I'm just stumped how we're going to get a latch onto Obama...
Oh, my dear, dear Flick!! He's HALF black. There's always a way!!
Have you ever seen the 1991 movie The Commitments? See it, and you'll get this quote: "Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud."
Spoken by a Northside Dubliner trying to build a soul/R&B band. It's a great movie, with 2 even better soundtracks.
