Pondering that gave me the idea that it would be neat to be displayed in my own museum, maybe as a Maori moko head, my son going "..and here's pops." Which brings to mind the fact that nowadays the children often do not continue the tradition of their parents, in whatever business. Which is sad, because it is contrary to the idea of tradition, but good, because the kids make a name for themselves. My son has completely different talents than me: He is totally ahead of the class in Math, and digs Chemistry, which I both was really bad at and abhored. And even when a small kid (he just grew 2 inches taller than me!) he never was into accumulating objects, like toy cars, or any toys for that matter. Weird, that guy. So in my case, I would want my collection to become a permanent public exhibit in some form, somewhere.
