That darn Santa is amazing. After asking for $100Gs (see Sunday’s entry), I came into work yesterday and was immediately approached by two new investors who say they see the potential of True West magazine and want to buy in. Amazing to say the least.

Had a long business meeting with Dave Daiss, R.G. Robertson, Bob Brink and I about the offer and how to handle it. We will be meeting again tomorrow to finalize details of a new company. Very exciting as I’ve been pulling this wagon all by my lonesome for almost two years. Thankyou Santa Claus and any other beings or spirits (hello father Bell!) who had a hand in this. I have long believed that the Universe is always trying to help us, but that we are sometimes too stubborn or stupid to see it. And as a recovering cartoonist and Lutheran I admit to a certain belief system that borders on mystical goofiness, but that’s my truth and if you don’t like it, go create your own damn universe.
