Here is friend and neighbor Tom, a brainy and funny guy who combines 21st century thinking with old-fashioned gentlemanly kindness. In honor of his birthday I am putting up this drawing of him from my sketchbook. Although it was drawn several years ago, Tom never seems to get any older. (What’s REALLY in that glass, anyway?) Happy Birthday, Tom. Perhaps you are already awake and having your morning Elixir of Youth.
Tom
That’s true, he doesn’t look a day older than when we moved in almost 10 years ago. Hmm, maybe Tom could pen a book of youthful secrets? Or at least an article in Oprah magazine?
I think it would be a public service to the neighborhood and to the world.
(Maybe it’s Jana’s cooking, because she doesn’t look any older either.)
