Thanks for the all good wishes! This week The Cartoonist and I picked the captions together while he rode the train down to see The Cartoonist’s Mom who is still in hospital.  Usually, we do this (like many other things) in the privacy of our own home. But, a deadline is a deadline so this time we did it over the phone. Other than The Cartoonist’s Conductor having to come by to ask him to be a little more quiet, it went pretty smoothly and quickly. After all, we can’t throw spitballs at each other if he’s moving 65 miles an hour in the opposite direction.
