Afterword 🐶

This website changes almost daily. Sometimes hourly. It has taken the place of the work I did before I retired. Electronic design also evolves daily, sometimes hourly. So my web publishing is basically a continuation of what I had been doing for umpteen gazillion years as a draftsman.

Life is easy when you’re honest and tell the truth… I’m exaggerating about umpteen gazillion years… nobody is that old because even God, the creator of the universe, is infinitely older and younger at the same time. So we can’t put a finger on God’s age or how long He’s been working. As far as us humans, we only have a lifetime… or do we?

My last career job was computer aided design of internet operating circuit board layouts along with a distinguished team of engineers, managers and support personnel. Prior to that I was an electronics technician evolving into circuit board design in the defense industry working with tactical missile systems. My first career job was a professional artist. During my younger years I worked many odd jobs beginning at age nine with a newspaper delivery route.

The most important career lesson I learned was from a female automobile mechanic. I was in my late teens and wasn’t happy with where I was working at the time and she told me, “The best thing you can do is make yourself valuable”.

Currently mostly still and reclining…
I’m about 15 in dog years
my wife says I’m 10
my brain tells me I’m 9…
I’m actually in my 8th decade
as measured by Earth’s solar orbit
…relatively old for a kid

Credits:

Thanks to my family and friends for their help, life lessons, love, and patient understanding.

Special thanks to my Susan’s (1 & 2) without whom I would be lost in space.

Infinite thanks to Susan (1) for being the better whole of me and dealing as best she can with my wacky doodle, incredibly stubborn, independently wired noodle… not a marshmallow, just a unique fellow.

Most of all, thanks to God, who deserves ALL the credit for EVERYTHING!

flowers bloom and seed the earth
God helps them grow

Thanks for visiting!

Artists finish their work
An audience completes it
