    I really like Sam Patania's comment,"one point of a wonderful
    spectrum". 

    I am very fortunate to live close to the Robert Gray Library. This
    is the reference library for the Southern Highlands Craft Guild. It
    is here in Asheville. In an effort to be aware of what is happening
    in "our" world, I spend time every month there reading the
    periodicals: Metalsmith, The Anvil's Ring, Lapidary Journal,
    Ornament, assorted glass working and enameling magazines. There is
    one Australian magazine that always leaves me breathless.. I don't
    necessarily have to like or even understand what I see but it is
    valuable to know what is happening out there. Besides, I always come
    away with a page full of notes. To balance all of the "art" I also
    take JCK, AJM, Instore, and Bench to keep up on the " trade
    centralist" part of the field. My work and ideas are better for the
    reading. My students are better informed for the ideas and
    information passed on. This field is far to big for any one magazine
    to cover all of the bases. 

    Assault your comfort zone. Ruts are for the masses! Boy, am I in
    trouble now.
