    To the old-timer

    Maybe you should be a little more "selfish". I love your rant, "drink a beer and paint a picture" to keep creativity alive. I don't think anyone is being selfish by wanting/seeking an occupation and ideal that gives meaning and satisfaction to their life. Out of all the comments, yours is the one that says "Me,me,me" more than anyone else. Did you walk 10 miles through the snow without shoes to get to school too? LOL!
