SCHLIEFKEVISION IN KANSAS:
 

Would you let this man carry your child down the road? Some parents do.

FAMILY LIFE 2 August 18, 2004 - I was actually asked during my stay in Kansas City how long it'd be before I had a child.  I panicked, and while playing with the little one, muttered 'in about three years'.  There's probably a greater chance of a lot of wildly improbable events happening than me having a kid in three years, but somehow, Uzi's little blue eyes had such a twinkle it just kinda popped out, sorta like Dan Ackroyd thinking of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters.  Five would be more realistic, at best, for I'm without a job, living in a garage in the ghetto, living on the edge of the poverty line, and oh yeah, am not even dating anyone right now.  I've always figured if it happens, it'll happen whenever.  No worries, no problems, and no desperation either.  I've got plenty of paintings laying around my studio and mind that occupy my mind just as much as any child ever could.  In the meantime, friends with kids is a splendid thing to have.
