Loft Life

This weekend, my wife and I took a tour of seven cool lofts. The stairwells were torture, but the homes themselves were great. Odd thing, though – in all seven cases, the residents of the lofts were artists – photographers, designers, architects, etc. Do artists have to live in lofts to be taken seriously? Is there something about a loft that calls out to artistic types? Am I by definition non-creative because I don’t live in a loft? Would I be a better writer if my living room was all windows, and overlooked the railroad tracks? So many questions to ponder! Exhausting – think I’ll go take a nap in the dark bedroom of my one floor house, in my standard neighborhood.
