furniture/cabinet making is something I want to get into later.

But I also miss doing artwork the old way where you actually got your
hands dirty on occasion.

| what other (non creative) occupation would you do?

Volunteer for Hospice, be a foster grand parent, play Santa (see
www.santa-america.org) Tutor kids in various subjects. Teach English as a
second language.

but I do that now so I guess I'd have to find something else to fill the
time.

I'm not sure any job is really non creative, at least if you do it right.
But....to answer the question, Lee and I have long talked about opening a
quilting/fabric retail store. That's one possibility. The other, I cooked
professionally through college and for a year or so beyond it. I'd love to
go back to that, except I'd weigh 500 lbs after about a year.

On my first trip to Japan I got lost in Tokyo (on a Saturday). Best free
tour I ever had. Every time I visited Japan after that I did my best to get
lost.
