Hey all
Well, this year has been the gift that keeps on giving. I had a few days back from vacation with my kid, then found out my dad was in the hospital and had to repack and get on a plane to Iowa. Still managed to get a new cartoon out at least, working in a hotel room as I wait to see how this situation will resolve. Life, it just keeps coming at you.
'Til next time,
Dan (aka Tom)
The melancholy doesn't life for Tom/Dan. He returns from a bittersweet vacation with his son in the aftermath of divorce to receive word of his father's hospitalization in Iowa. Please join this blogger in thinking a good thought for Dan/Tom and his family in Iowa. If this is a (fair & balanced) wish for better days to come, so be it.
