  • Ken leads the county library directors to the CPL Board Room, to discuss what is next.
  • Once behind closed doors, the library directors quickly formed a plan of action for the next 5 days.
  • All directors we asked to speak, the dummies said nothing.
  • As the day wore on.
  • As Kenneth Warren leaves the meeting with a heavy heart. The Rocky River director of the library asked, "Ken, did you ever think you last week would be like this? Do you think your board is up to the task?" Ken looks down, as the director asks, "Why do you wear a dead white daisy?"
  • Lakewood folklore. LO's ex publisher with old Wenn Gang mate Dennis Madden, who is heading up the Medical Mart project.
  • Well at least it was a much cooler than I had expected. When Cool Cleveland's Thomas Mulready showed up fasionably late to Tweet the event, I knew I was in the right place at nearly the right time.
