There was a pleasant telephone conversation had by Matthew with Suzanne from the University of California.

- I think, said Matthew, that I would rather be an artist than an attorney. I have been an artist for a short while now, and I see no reason why I should be stopping just yet.

- Well, Suzanne said handily, I am happy that you have come to a decision. Really, they are similar endeavors. Both begin very hard, and both finish very soft.

- Oh yes, said Matthew, that is true. Though, he was in fact thinking in his brain that he had never thought of that before. He was surprised at how congenial Suzanne was. He expected her to be a soul-sucking bureaucrat.
