Cue Design theft

If I weren’t building cues I have no idea what I
would be doing…
Maybe I would have stayed in pre-med and I’d be performing open-heart surgery on a daily basis? Nah… probably be sucking the fat out big ladies' thighs in Beverly Hills; that’s art too… right?
Maybe I would have built on my apprenticeship as a knife maker and I’d grinding out daggers and bowies somewhere… can you say “Booorrrinng”?
Maybe I would have stayed in law enforcement and there’d be video of me smacking the sh*t out of Rodney King on Youtube.
Might have stayed in furniture design and I’d be the next Gustave Stickley… or, more likely, designing particleboard desks for Wal-Mart.
I might still own a big cabinet shop and spend my days helping rich housewives decide whether to go with the Sub-Zero or the Thermador, and where to put all the pull-out cutting boards.
Or maybe I should adopt the philosophy that it doesn’t matter what happened in the past, as long as you’ve found your way to something you enjoy
now.
Which I have.
Almost thirty years ago a very wise man –whose daughter I married – said to me:
“You think you know where you’re going and what you’re going to do, but you’ll come to a fork in the road and take one path or the other. And you’ll see a little side street that you’ll turn down, just to see what’s there; and you’ll go through a doorway because it’s just standing open… and twenty years from now you’ll be doing something that you couldn’t even imagine today.”
He was right.
And it didn’t take twenty years.
