Clint, the good aspect of being old is that I can finally do things I have wanted to for decades. As a teenager, I wanted to draw, enrolled in an art school, but that lasted only about a year and a half when somehow I ended up in a technical direction that resulted in a good career, a great family, some teaching and then retirement.
