Rumors and Hard Times

"The house in the top center is our old home on South Walnut Street in Wooster, Ohio. The scene is about a huge street renovation project going on in front of our house all summer. They dug a huge hole in front of our house. My body is in the kitchen sink, Like we were in a sinkhole. There are little angels in the top corners, so I suppose those are guardian angels I'm calling in to cheer us up or help turn around a slump of hard times. The owls are our patio owl lights; they represent home, wisdom, and protection. I think the line of rumor mongers at the bottom is my expression of frustration to what was happening at the time with me getting a lot of publicity in the local newspapers. I just couldn't believe some of the incorrect things that got written, and I took it all to heart. What really counts is that your friends and family like to see you work in the paper."
