I dunno about epic, but I am quite happy. I built up a nice Romic in 650b in the spring. I'd had the frame for years. In the fall, I put together a Terry Osell frame and fork with DA 7400. I also had picked up another, slightly later, Eisentraut at Westminster, a 75; it's in the queue to be rebuilt. And I made my first ebay purchase in many years, this Alain Michel, which was so up my alley I couldn't very well resist.

I also found a Paramount blues 78 and a twenties Okeh blues 78 at a local thrift for a quarter each, and bought a really nice 8 track player. I replaced the worn out amp on the upstairs system with a nice Carver. So far, I've drawn over 300 comic strips this year, and probably another 100 assorted pieces. It really was not a bad year at all.
