It’s All Downhill from Here!

The comic strip above is from 2003. Imagine a fifth panel, where Arlo’s sled flies off a cliff and write “2016” on it. There. It’s been updated. I know I haven’t been around much the past few weeks, but I hope it will help when I tell you I’ve been busy coordinating painters and masons and laborers who are working on the parsonage restoration. Those guys start early! That’s right; I’m spending the money you so generously contributed. And working on that book, too! It’s quite a unique experience to have a lot of help for a change. However, I’ve been demoted from architect, engineer and craftsman to “gopher.” But I’m not complaining. Soon, I’ll post pictures and further information about the project. Oh, and… Happy New Year!
Buy the new book, "Beaucoup Arlo & Janis!"Today's "Arlo & Janis!"

    It was often tough, but I value the time I spent with my mom during her last months.

    Based on the TV commercials shown during football bowl games, this must be the only time of the year most people get concerned about their weight.
