In this lifetime I strive to try and to do. We modern homo sapiens have become as ants in a colony. We specialize to the ends of the earth.

By necessity of being, my life consists of doing my all-fire damndest to become a jack-of-all-trades, journeyman of some. If wishes were horses, I would...

I would study with:

  • Dale Chihuly
  • Ming Cho Lee
  • Michael Moschen
  • Mark Lamos
  • Jodie Foster
 

"If I Could...I Surely Would..."

 

Design a new flavor for Ben & Jerry's.
Build the house of my dreams...doing as much of the work as possible, myself.
Write the Great American Novel.
Write the rebuttal.
Revisit all the places I've ever lived.
Allow myself to remember my past.
Get beyond it.
Start a program whereby performing arts students are recruited from high schools on par with the way that athletes are.
Win an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony.
Change someone's life for the better.**
Come up with practical solutions to America's Health Care, Welfare, and unemployment issues, and actually get them implemented.
Keep my house clean.
Find all the friends I've left behind and see how they're doing.
Take a camping trip around a different part of the country for at least a month out of every year.
Have a solid, passionate, supportive, well-rounded relationship.
Design lights for Peter Gabriel, The Grateful Dead, and Melissa Etheridge...just once.
Become a Vari-Lite™ technician.
Study anything with Dale Chihuly.
Study anything with Ming Cho Lee.

** A student recently told me I could check this one off my list. It was quite possibly one of the highest praises I ever expect to attain. Certainly better than when I win that Oscar.

"If I were a rich (Wo)man..."

I'd buy a house and make it into an artists' colony akin to what's done at Maine's Haystack School.
I'd learn Gaelic.
I'd learn guitar.
I'd play the drums.
I'd take glassblowing.
I'd build the sculpture I have designed, then I'd design another.
I'd visit Australia.
I'd have my teeth whitened (but only the front ones...'cause after all, why waste money?!).
Buy a racing canoe with a bent-shaft paddle.
Get a hundred-disk CD player, or two, so I could just put my CD's in as a private juke-box collection.


Give me attitude! Do a Dorothy! Back to Top
