Actually, there&#8217;s a good chance that you may not even be on Twitter, maybe for the same reasons I almost jumped the Twitter ship.

We have really smart people here and passion abounds. But, for the most part, people don&#8217;t move here to start a business.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I attended a private author&#8217;s reception held at The Loft for Lorelei Shellist. Lorelei just self-published a soul-revealing book called Runway Runaway about her love affair with Steve Clark, who was the guitarist for Def Leppard.
