A straight man’s first gay bar
I beat Amtrak by two decades!
You’ve likely heard that Amtrak has created a writers residency on the rails, and it is reviewing applications through the end of March.

Unofficial, perhaps, but still a grand time. An official Amtrak residency is a cool idea, and if you want to apply, here’s a link:

Click below to see a short piece I wrote recently for Pendle Hill Quaker Center that describes my writing sojourns there. For writers in the Philadelphia area, I recommend that you check out Pendle Hill as a place for a personal writing retreat.
