Hey, fellow weaver. Oddly enough, I do not want to make a living at weaving--I'm afraid that would make it a high-pressure, not fun, pursuit. Here are the things I wanted to be when I was a kid, and I still want to be them:

Cowgirl
Ballet dancer
diver/researcher with Jacques Cousteau
Psychologist
Archaeologist

I've done numbers 2 and 4. I've also done about a decade of policy research on economic/labor market development, which I liked.

I'd be happy to retire and do volunteer work with kids. I still like the kids as much as ever. Would like less pressure/responsibility. Would like to spend more time weaving and making art, but not as a way of earning a living.
