Downtown Eastside Beat

August 16, 2012 by CACV Admin

Hey,

Hope everybody is enjoying the beautiful weather; sometimes I complain about the heat – but fast upon that thought comes the remembrance of the long, dark days of winter. And the heat is preferable, way more preferable than the dark. What do you think? Is it easier to be creative in the summer? Creativity being any act of living; cooking, painting, making music, writing, clothing, gardening. Maybe you can post a few more ideas of your own. It would be interesting to see what we can, collectively, come up with. Upcome with? With come up? Okay, I’ll stop.
