    Some of my first memories are of made stuff. When at the advanced
    age of 16 I took a jewellery class to replace a high school study
    hall. Other than a few student summer jobs, grass cutting, house
    painting, drafting, I've been rather focused. Art school in metal and
    jewellery (fun and I did learn a little), 25 years of trade benches
    (not always fun, but I HAD to learn just to survive and eat).
    Business decisions far out of my control gave me an opportunity to
    try to convert my home studio output into a sole income source. 

    Many black days and memories mixed in with the good ones, but so far
    the light at the end of the tunnel still doesn't appear to be a
    train; no real regrets from this lifer.
