Fifty, as in fifty
I’ll be honest – There has always been a good part of me that has not expected to live to see 50 for whatever reason.
I’m glad I have, thanks to coffee, bourbon, cigars and scurrilous living.
Now I can start being the old coot I always dreamed of being.

Just before the Roast Beast…
We were a cozy quartet for Christmas feast this year. My sister did an amazing job with the cooking. The present exchange was modest, and while we didn’t get much, we got things we wanted.
It feels wonderful to have connected with family and friends, as well as to have the largest expectations and pressures of the holiday season behind me.
And now I’m warm at home with Lehigh curled beside me, watching The Untouchables, and finally able to post here again.

I’m a simple guy…
Sometimes it doesn’t take much to make me happy. Today I heard from Lo about the feasibility of turning a drawing I had made into a patch, and it made me almost giddy. Any time I’ve designed a t-shirt , or gotten something back from the printer it has seemed the same way: somehow more real than something that i made start to finish. You’d think over time the thrill would have worn off, but I’m still as excited as when we would get the comics we had drawn back from the offset place back in high school. That little bit of it being out of my hands is enough to transport me.
