Terry is actually A Guy!

Every once in a while (well, okay, more than occasionally), I do something dumb…like making an automatic assumption about something or someone that’s totally off base. For example, when I wrote about Terry Garrett yesterday, I automatically assumed that I was writing about a woman. Not only is Terry very much a guy, but I also know another male Terry. Anyone who reads this blog now knows that I’m a bit of a ditz, even though I do my best to hide it.
It reminds me of the time years ago when my former sister-in-law had a party to celebrate the opening of her medical practice. I got talking with a really friendly older woman—probably the age I am now(!)—who was dressed in a ratty tracksuit and looked liked she’d hadn’t brushed her hair for a few days. “So,” I said. “Are you one of Pat’s new patients?” She just laughed, and then replied: “No dear, I was one of her professors at med school.”

But anyway, back to Terry. (See how easily I get off track?) He’s hard at work making 3-D creations for his upcoming art show—and here’s one of his pieces from last year that I just love.

that's so funny. last time I did that was years ago chauffeuring my teenage kids around & they were talking about Marilyn Mason. I asked what group SHE was in! I learned to just be quiet & drive after that.
Terry's stuff is very nice BTW.
