“I’m all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.
Let’s start with typewriters.”
–Frank Lloyd Wright
Today is Frank Lloyd Wright’s birthday, he would have been 145 years old.

Freelance writer, graphic designer, musician, foodie and Jane Austen enthusiast in Northern Baltimore County, Maryland. As a writer I enjoy both fiction and non fiction (food, travel and local interest stories.) As an advocate for the ARTS, one of my biggest passions is helping young people find a voice in all the performing arts. To that end it has been my honor to give one-on-one lessons to elementary, middle and high school students in graphic design and music. And as JANE-O I currently serve as the regional coordinator for JASNA Maryland and am working on a Regency/Federal cooking project.

Considering what the press did to Wright, can’t say I blame him for his opinion. The TC Boyle novel on Wright I thought was pretty good, by the by, and I usually think Boyle falls short.

Ohh, I haven’t read The Women. I’ll have to get that out of the library (or from the bookstore. ) I just looked up a review and it sounds fascinating. I did read Loving Frank for book club and that was pretty good. Have you visited any of FLLW’s houses Peter?

I can think of a bunch of current bestselling authors who should never be allowed near any word processing device. I have one in particular in mind but I’m not naming any names here.
