Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills (Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills) When we rode the horse we got some thrills Every now and the we hear our song (Every now and the we hear our song) We’ve been having fun all summer long -Beach Boys- That’s still one of my favorite songs of summer. The Beach Boys defined the season for so many of us who grew up in the 60’s. It defined all that summer was and should be. I’d love to hear your favorite song/s of summer. Your memories of “grillin and chillin”. Things have slowed down on the sports front for the time being.  I feel like it’s good opportunity to take a bit of a break from the daily posting that I do here. So From now until September 6th, I plan to post just three days a week, Monday-Wednesday and Friday. There will be occasions when there might be more, but never less than three a week. There also might be Mondays when the cartoon isn’t posted until noon. I’ll put a message up when that is the case. Posting at noon will allow me to not have to work on Sunday, which will give me a two day weekend, something I haven’t had since the News closed in 2009. This “time-out” will give me some much needed time to charge the batteries creatively and to work on some other projects I’ve been wanting to get to (a webcomic for one thing). It will also afford me some time to “reinvent” myself a bit, to adapt to the ever changing world where newspapers are no longer the most viable long term solution to paying my mortgage. To be honest with you, I’m scared to take this break . I don’t want to lose a single one of you who stop here during your busy days to view my latest cartoon. And I really, really don’t want to lose the wonderful friends I’ve met here. But the time just seems right for a “pit stop”.  I’ve been drawing sports cartoons at least five days a week for 29 years. Sometimes we just need a breather. I can only hope and pray you indulge me this time to recharge, reinvent and,  yes, listen to a few Beach Boys songs.
