Sonya:
Tell me about yourself.
Mister Joe:
I'm almost sixty. I'm an artist.
Sonya:
I heard that you are a college professor.
Mister Joe:
Yes I taught college for 18 years, a Survey of Fine Art and Introduction to Philosophy. I have degrees in both.
Sonya:
Did you say you like boating and fishing?
Mister Joe:
I fell in the river just last night. I was walking in the river after dark and I fell three times, skinned my knee.
Sonya:
You were walking over water?
Mister Joe:
No I can't do that. Not even a tiny bit.
Sonya:
What do you do in your spare time?
Mister Joe:
I'm on the river. I enjoy gardening. I'm enjoying the company of you kids. I missed Kat when she was out.
Sonya:
What haven't I asked you that you might tell me?
Mister Joe:
I worked on the Greenway with Destiny. We floated boats down the river and picked up garbage. We filled a forty yard dumpster with garbage rom the river. Oh! And I am waiting for a very wealthy person to discover one of my art projects, a monument to Adam, based on Mark Twain's writing. The City of Elmira has approved it but we still have to raise the money to cast it in bronze.
