Do you ever wonder what your true artistic potential is?

I mean - for those who don't work in the arts.

Do you ever wonder where your artistic 'vision' could go, if you left it unimpeded?

1. No need to wonder. I'm fully aware. My artistic potential = null set.

Which is odd because our son is in design grad school and quite the artist. Didn't come from genes, unless that other biologic entity had something to do with.

5. He discovered his muse at age 20 when as an English major he took a pottery class as an elective.

We're so proud of him.

9. I'm hoping to get into filmmaking eventually.

Hopefully it doesn't take me too long to do that.

10. I've known what it is for over 35 years, when a high-school teacher of mine offered

to pay, with her own money, to send me to the Breadloaf Writers's Conference in Vermnont.

To this day, I wish I'd taken her up on that offer. That wonderful teacher's name was Enid Baker.
