I always notice costumes in moveies and plays and always end up in the clothing department of any museum that has one. The fact that I can't draw, am a mediocre seamstress and -even when I sewed - did not have that great eye for combining fabric and style should not be roadblock, should it? :-)Trisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058396345946250313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-82808610909373787892018-01-18T16:01:31.161-05:002018-01-18T16:01:31.161-05:00Jenn,

I realized early on that playing wasn't going to be my thing so I told everyone in the league that I wanted to be a coach. <br /><br />They thought I was joking, except for one coach (Tony Dias) who told me if that's what I wanted to do then I should go for it. I started as an assistant coach when I was 14 and was a head coach when I was 18. And years later, that coach who encouraged me was my assistant coach as we took a championship with our team. His passing a few years after that was as sad for me as losing my father and later my mother.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-53872058610196147212018-01-18T14:46:35.719-05:002018-01-18T14:46:35.719-05:00Congratulations to Rhys and Jenn on your nominatio...Congratulations to Rhys and Jenn on your nominations! It must be such a thrill to have your work recognized that way.<br /><br />In an anything goes possibility for jobs, there are several things that come to mind. Being a singer with a voice like Alison Krauss would be divine. Her songs with her amazing musicians crew and her musicality always have such an intimate touch to them, but a reaching out to include those listening. And, since I'm one of those crazy people who often imagine a song and dance routine as I'm out in public, maybe musical theatre would be a good choice.<br /><br />Then, there is the area of travel. I'd love to be paid to travel to different places and seek out the literary connections and be paid to report on those. Or, do tours of book settings. I still haven't given up hope of a London tour of Debs' settings there.<br /><br />And, of course, like Mark, it would be wonderful to be a paid reviewer. But, then maybe the best of all would be to own a bookstore and have author events where you get to promote and spend time with your favorite authors and their books. <br /><br />Oh, one more. Goat keeper. Having a farm where I raise goats, but it would be even better if I got to play with the goats and someone else did the daily stuff. I know that seems a bit lazy, but, hey, it's a fantasy deal. <br /><br />Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-33549030255375853802018-01-18T14:44:31.011-05:002018-01-18T14:44:31.011-05:00It’s very easy.
