Tick Tock

Ever since I saw the fabulous singing oldsters yesterday, I can't stop thinking about the fact that I am closer to the end of my life than the beginning. This brings things into sharper focus than usual, and I am contemplating how I want to spend my remaining years. Who knows, I might live another 30, but even if I do, I'm not sure selling used furniture to affluent, bored women out shopping for recreation is what I want to do with the bulk of my time.

How about you? What did you do today? Do you want to do it again tomorrow?

    You are destined to have an ever changing whirlwind of endeavors until your last days. It is time to molt. Free yourself. For you each month has a new picture on the page.

    Today I had a witness who was a doctor who spoke at ludicrous speed, but in my mind I was having a wonderful time just seeing that I could write this fast. Tomorrow I have a plaintiff in a medical malpractice case. After the last year of working on average one day out of seven, I'm really enjoying getting out there. I'm sure that I'll tire of this four days out of seven, but for the meantime, it's fun, and if it's fun, it's worth doing.

    Enjoyed the 40 hour a week job and then spent time in my creative mode. Each day is an adventure. In your shop you meet new people, some more interesting than others. Whether you open an art gallery in NYC or write your blog, if you focus on the "others" you may never be satisfied because they didn't respond the way you wanted. People will go into an art gallery in NYC or anywhere USA and look and maybe 1 in 100 may buy something. You can't let the other 99 piss you off. Enjoy the ride, because if you are doing what you love, that is all that matters.

    I spent 11 hours in airports and airplanes experiencing the miracle of modern transportation... when it slips a disk.

    On the bright side, I got patted down by a TSA agent which is the closest I've come to an intimate moment in a while.
