The Neighbors Say I Am Nuts!
The bronze piece contains the modern capital alphabet, after Trajan's Column, in Rome; to the evolution of the alphabet from the cuneform; through different styles, to our modern alphabet. The bronze piece is one of those things I had to have back in the day when calligraphy and lettering were the most important things in my daily life. I made a living on the alphabet and lived very well.
Some people wish they could do things with their life and some will do them. Many are afraid to start because failure is not an option but if you do not fail then you have not made it. My problem was and still is that I do the things I think about and try to make a success out of whatever it is.
From carving names and words and letters in stone, that I had never done before, to writing books, newsletters and hosting my 13-week television series of half-hour shows and I had not done any of those things either. I think of something and then do it. So it leads to my office being changed from the way it is to the way I think it might look better.
And the office measures 24 feet long by 26 feet wide and has 2 entrances plus separate heating and air conditioning, windows and one large skylight. It was paid for using a cash advance that I got from an English Corporation for a book that I wrote for them.
I have dug up and moved all the soil in my backyard -- the neighbors say that when they talk about me. He is generally nuts when it comes to growing flowers, trees, bushes and shrubs and he has planted them all from oak to maple and dug up and chipped up nearly everything he ever planted except those few things that are now too large to dig up or move.
In the end, the dust will still be on the floor and the stones in the yard -- leftovers from times when dirt was hauled in and dumped and spread out by me using a garden shovel.
