What's The Point comments on webcasts 192-6 & 7. What's the point on doing anything. We work so we don't starve and if there is any money left, we dump it into what we enjoy doing. Perhaps to some it's collecting carburetors, to others it's building a planetarium. If my dad had collected carburetors I would probably have junked them at his passing (or probably put them up for sale on eBay). The point is, as I see it, we get fun and satisfaction out of it. Why else do it? What is the point of "Dream Big" if we don't get enjoyment out of it. So what if I die and leave a bunch of "good junk" for my kids to sort out, I enjoyed my junk to the last day. I think they would be happy that I was happy. The last thing I want to do is clear everything out (so it's not a burden to them) and then go to a home and sit in a 10X10 foot room staring at a twenty four inch TV waiting to die. That would certainly move that along.
Now I never thought of myself as a catfish (perhaps it's the hairs growing out of my nose and ears) but if that's what I am, so be it. The point is I am enjoying my last years. If I didn't enjoy what I was doing I would certainly move on and do something else.
I enjoy giving shows and if I'm ever going to get the interest of a child or adult up and running, it will be from them coming to a show. Does that work...it worked for me so perhaps it will work for someone else. This BB was designed for that purpose and new people pop up from time to time. I love to see that and offer all the help that I can. But then, perhaps that time is ending. The fun of building a planetarium is coming to an end as digital takes over. Everyone has gone in their own direction (what else would I expect when OC crashed) but quite frankly it is hard to keep up with all the various sites as it takes half of my day, every day, trying to keep up. I should take this time and work on shows and presentations for my big dream, which I actually accomplished. This was the webcast I needed to get me moving.
