"Ever onward!" My 2025 Resolution is to "learn to burrow." Sounds like a plan!

I miss you in the Star and am so glad you are still with us! I’ve always been a fan of your words and cartoons! You are a much beloved Tucson institution! (I hope that doesn’t make you sound too old.)

Ha! Old? I am so ancient I'm older than at least two of the saguaros in our yard.

Fascinated by your pointillist beginnings, but glad you found the style that was not quite so demanding. And delighted that your inner author emerged! I find myself struggling to find the right words to express well wishes in the new year. A Minnesota friend sent me one that I share with you, David, and all your readers: May the New Year be filled with pleasant surprises!🎉

You know, Tooner, I've loved your doodles since you first started at The Star. Thanks for sharing your artistic growth over the years with us; your columns definitely express a great range of wordsmithing prowess -- aka, love your work, dude.

And thanks for the link to the Tucson March. I was wondering if there was going to be one here. I joined in on the first one in 2017 that grew from 2,000 to 15,000 unexpectedly, and it was a joyous thing to behold. Hope to see you there, mi amigo. Stay healthy.
