I read the bible. I love going to museums. I am retired. I have a wife. I went to the Vatican, Milan, Florence, Genoa, and Bologna. I like the Vatican. I like art. My dog died.
My dog died. I make art. I am a sculptor. I want to visit Italy. I want to see the Cistine chapel. I love art and museums.
I found an art exhibit that will be featured in the local art museum. Wow, how exciting! Tell me more about that! I wonder if some of my art can be featured there, I've been doing so many sculptor's lately but don't know what to do with them! You should go with me to check it out! And you could talk to the curator about your stuff. I'm sure he could either use some of your stuff in the exhibit or point you to in the right direction to talk to someone else who could. Okay, I'll go with you! That might be the perfect opportunity to get started out! Thanks for including me! How did you like the Vatican and all them places you went to , I forgot to ask you. Oh it was amazing! It was a dream vacation for my wife and I. It was all so beautiful. You would've loved it. I especially thought of you at the Cistine chapel Well, thanks for thinking of me, ha, maybe one day I'll get to go there!  You are so lucky you are retired!  Retirement certainly has its benefits. But honestly, when I'm not traveling, I really miss working. Don't take it for granted.  Oh ok, I guess sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side, I'll try and remember that. You must be having a hard time with getting over your dog too, I know I am, it's strange both our dogs passed within a few weeks of each other.  I try not to think about it. It just breaks my heart. My wife took it a lot harder than I did. It was actually her dog. That's part of the reason we went on this trip. I wanted to get her out of the house and get her mind off everything. How are you holding up? That is a good idea what you did, it always helps to do something fun like that in order to get your mind off of things. I am doing okay. I've just been concentrating on my art more these days to keep my mind free. It helps a lot. Losing a dog is tough. It's like losing a family member. So many people don't understand that. Have you ever done a sculpture of your dog? I was going to ask if you could do one of our dog. My wife would love that so much. Oh that is a great idea! I'm going to do one of both our dogs! I think that would provide comfort for us all.
