Hey guys, just got an email while sipping my first sip
of coffee this morning. I won a McKnight residency at Northern
Clay Center for the spring of 2008.

You can read more about the residency here:

Way to go, Lee. Just think, all this time living in Japan will have
you well-trained for the Minnesota cold. heh

Japanese house in the '60's.

Thanks. Actually, the cold is "easier" in Minnesota because of
central heating. The average Japanese puts about 1/3rd the carbon
into the air as your average America. No central heating is one of
the reasons. We suffered our first couple winters here.

Because we heat with kerosene heaters here, we don't run them
at night. The last couple of years, we have been running our heat
pump heater (air conditioner in summer, heater in the winter) in the
bedroom at night. Otherwise, when you wake in the morn, you can see
your breath in the winter. This winter was unusually mild.
