04:36Would love to be a Supreme Court Justice or?

04:41And when I was in ninth grade, I realized I'd never be a baseball player.
04:44When I was around my second week of law school, I realized I'd never be a Supreme Court Justice.
04:47Well, why don't you pick a third ambition?
04:50Doing well on Jeopardy.
04:51All right.
04:51Well, that's a good ambition.
04:52Nice having you with us today.

05:33When all the neighborhood kids come in.
05:34And Dan Avila from Los Angeles is our champion.
05:37He does something unusual in that you design neon signs.
05:41Are they ornate designs or are they just the ordinary things that we see?
05:45Uh, no.

05:47They're unique.
05:48People, friends will sort of commission me to do them.
05:51I took a class in neon design and I know how to do everything but the bending.
05:55That's a specialized art.
05:57Oh, really?
05:57But I can put together from scratch and give them a completed piece.
06:02All right, maybe if you're with us long enough this week, you could bring in a photograph
