what i've done
Now this is where a website starts to look like a bunch of hieroglyphics. Makes things seem really important when it's in print. Notice, I didn't list all the bottoms I wiped or the dishes I washed, though those events are pretty important. I often envy artists in the past, who had benefactors who took care of all the management stuff. They had the time to paint or sculpt or draw or smoke a cigar. I try to approach everyday as an art endeavor because being alive today, is definitely an art. Everything is art!
But if you insist on the list, the following is a resume of what I've been doing over the last couple of lifetimes.
