Twelves years ago tomorrow I was standing in the bitter cold just off center of the Washington Monument witnessing my first presidential inauguration.

They played off of each other most of the night at the Society of Illustrators. The routine is the same, give the room equal face time, and try not to give one side two backsides of the head. Sometimes you benefit from your place in the room.—Dominick

That was the coldest day on earth that I have ever been outside. I swear. On two bibles if necessary. Yesterday, I got […]
