For those of us who have seen him come and go for 19 years, what we all want to know is what does Bill do after he closes up the gallery. Sitting there with his Buddha smile, one might assume more of the same.... or perhaps?
you made me google it and click images, you made me do it. that lady and her mumbled question threw me a bit. when he said hose i was expecting the other end to be explained as connected to an exsaust pipe and how he had the engine runny so musn't dilly dally as I can't take it another moment infact!. I guess the way that question "how do you keep it up?" was put around the time he was explaining how the last 19 years of his life went by.
