SQUASHED

I think the teenagers that work at my local market think I am the crazy produce lady.  It might have something to do with the muttering under my breath when they drop the pineapple on my tomatoes or the fact that I will stand in a longer line to get the cashier that won’t drop a cantaloupe on my cilantro.   The muttering prevents me from coming unhinged.  The only thing missing from the scenerio is my muttering “whippersnappers,” but I assure you it will show up eventually. Hehe.  This next Call wants unhinged in a less curmudgeonly way, I suspect.  You decide…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition called Unhinged.  The sky is the limit on this show–they are open to just about everything.  Don’t miss this opportunity…
