Back when I was pregnant!

Ha! I was looking through some old photo albums recently when I discovered this polaroid taken when I was 24 weeks along in my pregnancy back in 1989. __Okay, so I wasn't preggers, but just having some fun with my wife (and dalmatian, Samantha) in the nursery before we started decorating it.___Oh, I felt it kick!

Hanging with the boys in Lincoln, NE!

This Friday I will be hitching a ride over to Lincoln, NE, with my friends, Tom Richmond and Cedric Honstadt! We are part of the North Central Chapter of the National Cartoonists Society, and on Saturday we will be doing some serious judging of a particular category for the NCS Reuben Awards (to be held later this year in New Jersey). But first we have to get through (survive) our social time Friday night!___I can't wait!

My Wife, The High School Softball Coach

Not only am I crazy about my better half, I am also extremely proud, very happy and excited for her as she was named the new Urbandale High School Varsity Softball Coach earlier this morning!___UHS is her alma mater....and even though she'll wanna beat me up...here she is in her softball uniform, circa 1977!

Valentine's Day and more snow!

Okay, it's Valentine's Day, my wife and I exchanged Valentines, shared a hug and a kiss...and then headed outside to, ONCE AGAIN, shovel and snowblow five driveways. It's cold, sweaty work, but both of us are able to appreciate the beauty that is winter.__ That's not to say that looking at this photo of our backyard from last May, didn't make us not look forward to Spring! Oh yeah, we're looking forward to it!!!

Be My Valentine!

This was a doodle that evolved out of itself the other night. Just start doodling the fat mouse and the rest just happened. Anyway, it was befitting Valentine's Day and thought I'd use it to wish...anyone...that actually views this blog, ha...a VERY HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY tomorrow!

This weather has everything grounded!

This ongoing bad winter weather is the reason behind my canceled trip to see my friend this weekend. The bad weather also reminded me of this cartoon about the Flying Nun...when she gets old and how she is forced to be grounded, too.__Lovely, I know.
