never worn your shoes, but an potter friend of mine did.
had not been doing much when he got bad, and it wasnt his best.
he was amazed how much time he had once he quit. get back to work, and got a teaching job at a community college. the clay was good therapy.

he sorta has the same problem. but he's just so grateful his wife didnt dump him. i do think she knows, tho. he was a bad dad, but pretty much makes up for that every day.
