Folks ask, "What do you do?" and I'd never knew what to say, it was as if I should have some precognition on what my next great work would be; I hadn't a clue, so I'd fill out the 'proper' designations, and, sure enough, nothing would follow. Later, there'd be a call, out of the blue, word got around. I had no idea what it was I 'did', other than it never seemed to repeat.

But it occurs to me, yes, I do know! For the past 45 years, I had been a sort of digital mid-wife, giving life to the digital dreams, to get it started, to see the thing begin, and, my job done, move on.

These days, though, I mostly play in jazz bands and tinker with Fediverse apps.
