According to "bark of delight", I have a choice between being a
priest, actor, or piano player?
Well, two out of three ain't bad. ;-)
Of course, I could claim to be ALL THREE though I do not pretend to be
any good at them:
1) I became a priest of the Universal Life Church in 1992. Since then,
I have officiated two marriages. Happily, these unions are still intact.
2) My most recent acting role: I played the role of Gert Hackenfleisch
(a chain-smoking Berlin eurotrash artist) in the epic film "Glendale
Ogre".
3) I have been called upon to play as an accompanist at occasional
auditions at Santa Monica College. I also give piano lessons from home.
:-) :-)
Actually, on a more serious note, starting 03/01/04 I am officially a
full-time member of First Quadrant, with all the perks. My title is
"Research Assistant". Let me say I am absolutely delighted with the
new job.
