Former Lawyer Paints: Quarry Night & Vincent Van Dozer (CNN)

Posted on August 18, 2014

(CNN) — “What does this thing do?”

That’s what I asked the garbage man one afternoon many years ago when we had Truck Day outside Cherokee Elementary.
At least I think it was Truck Day. There were lots of trucks. And our teachers encouraged us to look at them and ask questions.
So, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t sex-ed.

(God, I hope not.)

Anyway, the garbage man smiled and answered my question. “Well, this makes the mechanical arm go down. Here, try it.”
Me at the helm of a steel hydraulic grabbing device in the vicinity of small children. What could possibly go wrong?

My 10-year-old daughter surprised me when she recognized a Picasso. “This was his blue period”, she said. “How did you know that”, I asked. Her reply was, “I learned about Picasso at Meet The Masters”.

I’m thrilled our school supports this program!
