and then there's Tom Meaney...

How could I leave out mention of Tom? It's all his fault I'm doing this chalk thing in the first place. Every year he does a beautiful rendering of his kids. (I told him today it's cheating to make them look better than in real life.) He's the master. That's why he's behind the velvet ropes. VIP. There when we arrive, still at it when we leave.....I think he sleeps there Memorial Weekend. The guy needs to get a life. He even let's me come over and mooch the binder to make the special home-made chalk that stays on the pavement for a year sometimes. Thanks Tom! And thanks Shelley, too, for the 'special' cookies.
