Artist’s Statement
I was born. I lived. I aged rapidly. Now I'm seventy. Orson Welles said that old age is "a ship wreck."

I thought I was losing my hearing. But I guess not; last week I heard from my uncle in Cleveland.

You can't count on anything anymore. Last week I tried to drive up to San Francisco. But I came to a big sign on the freeway. It said "San Francisco LEFT." So, I turned around and came home.
