Craig’s List

November 15, 2005


I have been using Craig’s List (www.craigslist.org) as resource to find good bookstores, offer ride shares, and, when all other possibilities fall through, find a place to stay for the night.

The Cleveland Craig’s List community was especially open to hosting a wayward writer and several people offered up a spare room. I ended up staying with a woman name Julie and her roommates and friends in a suburb of Cleveland called Euclid. She really did the spare room up, even leaving me a fresh bar of soap and little package of tissues beside the bed. The next morning, we drove into Cleveland State University (which you see out the rainy window) where she both works (in the marketing department) and studies (music). She even lent me her password so I could do free Internet in the university computer lab. Though we may differ on certain religious issues (she is a committed Catholic, while I continue my pagan ways and worship many gods from many religions), she is very kind indeed.
