    Well, since you ask... My father was an engineer (designed oil
    tankers)--*and* an artist. He taught me to draw in perspective when
    I began to draw, at a very young age. My mother was a math teacher
    who wanted to be a musician. With these genes, I am an artist who
    did well in math, thinks clearly in geometry, thrives on detail and
    complexity, and does creative problem-solving compulsively. The
    Chinese (I think) refer to that part of the brain that never shuts
    up as the "drunken monkey". I don't know whether you guys relate to
    this description, but I sure do. It's like a radio-- you might
    manage to change the channel, but you can seldom turn it off. Well,
    I like to say that my drunken monkey is an engineer. When I make
    jewelry, we're both happy. --Noel
