Farewell to 2008

This is the biggest 2008 I've seen. And after the up-and-down year we've had, maybe the location (on North Garey Avenue in Pomona) is appropriate somehow.

Anyone who thinks they wouldn't benefit from a bit of mental health help these days just doesn't understand the situation.

All good wishes to you, David, for a happy and prosperous 2009. Your humor over the past months has helped a lot of us maintain a degree of sanity in the midst of chaos.

When you're not making us laugh, you're making us think. It's all good.

[I always appreciate your comments, Ramona, but especially this one. -- DA]

Hey Happy New Year's Dave...it was great meeting you and I'll probably see you at the next comic convention on January 17.

And quite fitting, as Tri City was home to one of the few good things that happened in Pomona this year: the Tri City community garden. It's still up and running, being maintained by Farmer Randy and a few locals, tho I'm told the new staff at Tri City has pretty much abandoned it.

I am really trying my hardest over here to be optimistic about 2009. Please join me for a toast with that thought in mind...
