Ode to Spokane

There is something appealing about the thought that regardless of where you live it is possible to invent new ways of thriving. The ability to make good friends, challenge yourself and grow with those around you is not a side-effect of the place in which you live, it is an innate quality of the individual.

From a Friend:

Spokane’s “Spokan”

Spokane’s a fine place, man.
Be a Spokane fan
and love it if you can.
If you pan it cause you can’t,
then skedaddle to Seattle,
cause the *city* ain’t your battle–
it’s your messed up compass
that is makin’ you denounce
what your mind can’t encompass
and your badmouth can’t pronounce.
And it’s a gen-u-wine pity
if you blame that on the City.

    Hey Spovangelist…if I could get you to email me, I’ve got some information regarding an upcoming event Spokane Tilth is sponsoring looking to support and develop Community Supported Agriculture programs in the region..it would be great if you’d consider a post regarding our effort and the initiative. Couldn’t figure out a better way to get a hold of you than this post…

    thanks! brian
