Holy crap, it's been four years since I posted any journal entries. Well, I suppose this is as good a time as any. I'll try to get some sketches or finished work up as soon as I can. Got the boar pic at least. Other than that, I hope everyone's upcoming holidays will be enjoyable.

Speaking of which, you know, during the Christmas season, I receive many Christmas cards. Unfortunately, because I'm usually so busy, I don't have time to send out many myself. So, if I could, I'd like to use this as my Christmas card to everyone.

"Dear Friend, or Relative, or Business Associate. Merry Christmas, or Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, or Solstice, or Voodoo Day.

Boy, what a year it's been - me, with my artwork, and, you doing whatever it is that you do. Thanks for the Christmas card, it was very beautiful, or humorous. I enjoyed the photo of your kid, or kids. Boy, he, or she, or they are really getting big. Have you seen our mutual friend, if we have one? Can you believe what he or she is up to? Boy, some people! Has your son, or daughter, or sister, or brother, or husband, or wife still have that drug problem? All you can do is trust in God, or, if you prefer, voodoo.

How is Granny, or Nana, or Mimi, or Yaya? So so? Hey, how about the professional sports team that we both root for? They should fire, or rehire that manager of theirs. He's a character!

Well, gotta go. By the way, sorry about throwing up on your carpet that time, or times. I hope you receive many presents from Santa, or Hanukkah Guy, or the Voodoo Man, and that the coming year is as good as, or better than, or nothing like the last year.

Love, Teigue"
