Afshin takes his 2
year old daughter to a gymnastics class every Saturday. He actually
forgot about my visit to install a painting at his house. I was waiting
around in front of his house in a snowstorm for about 15 minutes.
Fortunately, he came back from the gym wondering why I was standing
there covered in snow. Anyhow, Afshin is often right. I should have
known better. I did not take his advice on how to prepare a grant
application. As a result, my first ever art application was sent back
to me a week after the deadline before even being reviewed by the jury.
