My computer access is somewhat limited these days. Up until last Friday I was driving an airport shuttle van...not too glamorous but I got to drive some of the most spectacular scenery in the world and it paid the bills. It was intended as a temporary situation until I got other things going, but the boss had other ideas. Ah, well... I would love to do things with my hands, I dearly love watching the home improvement shows on TV, but my ten thumbs don't allow me to do much in that regard. I had a chance to work in a pet shop, long a dream of mine, but failing feet and knees would not allow me to spend nine hours walking a concrete floor. At heart I am a storyteller so my writing would seem to be the logical outlet for my creative spark. Perhaps I will try that. First, though, I gotta pay the bills... (Love your PS!) Calvin B.
