Program internal websites for HR for a big airline on contract.
Make fibre art sculptures that I sell over the internet (just enough to support the hobby)
The occasional shiatsu massage.

I live off funds provided by the taxpayers of the State of Illinois as I am a retired state employee (mathematics professor at a state university). These nice people also pay my health insurance premium each month.

I, of course, do not live in IL now and never want to go back there but each month I get reminded that I used to live there.

Half the picture is my son,whom I support as an artist.

The rest well,speaks for itself.

You will see that carrying the weight of the big picture is my 32 years as a fulltime Trucker...
