About Me

Doctor Cleveland
Doctor Cleveland is the personal blog of Jim Marino, also to be found at Dagblog.com. Opinions are strictly my own. They do not reflect my employer's views or the content of my classes. I do not use university resources to blog. I love old books, new books, fresh coffee, the West Side Market, live standup, Cleveland architecture, Lake Erie and the Boston Red Sox. I consider Groucho Marx an important role model.
