A Poem

We are all part of a whole…Elements of a large, yet minute organismConnecting through the energy of words, music, sex, and artEven though separated…

Favorite Color

Screen Printing T-shirts

My husband and I have a screen printing business where we print t-shirts for other businesses, bands, or events. It’s called Phantom Chicken. I quit my last ‘real-job’ in 2000 to work full time with Gregg to create a source of revenue that has been able to sustain us since then. We have a: no-grow…
