While I am still homeless in the San Fernando Valley, I still managed to have a really cool Christmas. I spent the morning working on the latest drawing, and then headed to a church that had a free Christmas meal. Salad, turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and homemade cranberry sauce, with pumpkin pie for dessert. As a rule, I don't travel all over for free meals, because the homeless people who do usually spend all their time just doing that, and nothing else. I call that the "Homeless Merry_Go_'Round. They get free food, but never get much else accomplished. I'm too focused on getting some creative work done every day.
But there's one place that has a great weekly meal, plus holidays, that I recently started going to. I got stuffed, so thanks to all the volunteers!
They even gave everyone a packed stocking full of gifts, which I didn't expect, and they had a raffle for some gift cards as well. So I had a great Christmas meal, then went to another spot, and did some more drawing for much of the afternoon. Good day all around. Hope all of you had a good day, and didn't get stuck in airports from all the crazy weather in much of the country.
