My oldest is doing independent films along with ten million others...up in Seattle. Good going...getting a kid into the arts. We need a LOT more of that. These politicians are causing our young people to run, screaming in the night, out of Assyria."

>I don't think you have given up your seat as a spectator as much as you think. Being in the audience is as important as being on stage. That's where the real dialectics happen. The interaction between the two is priceless. It begins the exploration of the inricate social relationships of the characters and the behavior resulting from them. That's theater! which you have here.

..true, this is very like theatre...certainly there are roles being played in order to make some points and illuminate some dark and smelly corners...I guess I meant I haven't made the time to actually go anywhere and sit still...I used to and enjoyed it immensely...maybe again some day.

>This Assyrian sculpture you're working on currently, is for another Assyrian or for groups of Assyrians?

...I only ever did two commissioned pieces...one was a bust of Robert Mondavi, commissioned by hisself and the other was a life-size sculpture of a unicorn for someone in Mexico City...I didn't like either experience.

..I make the sculpture I want to make and worry about selling them later.

...this is a piece dear to my heart that I put off doing for years...it's of the Allaha-Ashur...the fellow in the feathered skirt and wings drawing a bow...it's the third version...over the last 18 months...this time it came out as I wanted.

..I'd thought of going to this year's convention in Boston to display it but it won't be done in time..besides they'd just try to have me arrested again..as they tried in Chicago and San Jose...when it's finished and cast I'll post a photo here.
