I have a shirt that I’ve been wearing for about five years now. It’s one of my favorites, obviously. Sadly, it has a hole along the waistband where it’s rubbed against the seatbelt buckle in the car for years. Worn clean through. It’s probably time I retire the thing, but I have a hard time letting go.

Probably mostly true story. Granted, she didn’t tell me the girl I apparently ditched her for had herpes at the time. Oh, no, she waited until after we got married.

Not that it mattered much, since whoever that girl was, she ignored me and I don’t even remember her name now.

Also, I’m not good with subtext. It just becomes text with me, apparently.

Seriously, Thanksgiving Break screwed up my sleep schedule completely. I’m so tired when I get home in the afternoon, I end up taking a nap on the couch, which causes me to have trouble sleeping at night. Which in turn makes me tired the next day, so I end up taking a nap on the couch when I get home from work. And so on.

Three-hundred and sixty-five.

A year ago, I decided to start drawing regularly again. The original intention was that I’d draw something quickly – from rough sketch to finished product in less than half an hour.

Yeah, that lasted less than a month.

It went from simple sketches to comics, and I started doing things like shading.

It’s been a lot of fun, even if its been challenging to get a drawing done each day.

So yeah, a year. I’m looking forward to the next year, and I hope you’ll join me!

My wife makes this dish of mashed turnips and potatoes called rutmush (pronounced “root moose”). It’s a traditional Italian Swedish thing, apparently. I am not fond of it at all. The first Thanksgiving we had together, I thought it was just mashed potatoes. I was…wrong.
