And even help clean snow off the car in the morning! Learn more about my hanji duck motivation on TV this week—Applause is featuring my work on Thurs at 7:30pm, Fri at 11pm, and Sat at 4pm for Ohio PBS viewers. Later, it will be available online to everyone outside the region. Also, details about my talk in Detroit on March 17 are online at Signal-Return's website.
