Deep in the heartland, southern Indiana. I am working on a new play at the New Harmony project. It is fantastic here, great for writing. Not so good for calling. To use your cell phone you have to walk five streets down and two streets over, where, in the middle of the road, you might be able to get Verizon. So when I finally pick up my messages there are quite a few, including three from a very determined lady who would like to speak to me about a project.
