well, 2020 is almost over. another boring year, am i right? speaking of boring, i have some stuff coming up for sale, something a little different for the ol tstout.com. you’re probably wondering, is TST-OUCH AWAY™, my revolutionary alternative medicine system, finally launching? unfortunately a few bugs to still work out, a few allergic reactions, still fine tuning that entire line.

instead, we’ll be launching some ‘apparel’ type stuff. hint, what does a person use almost every day? arms? torso? no, the answer is, your feet. so we’re going to give phil knight a run for his money and try to tackle the mystery that has baffled scientists for years. also, an art print as part of our 114 edition series, a small edition of wood etchings, plus a charity auction to raise money for who knows what. sarah probably knows. its all tax-related, looks good to the IRS auditors.

so, that will all be happening soon, if you’re on my mailing tstlist™ you’ll get the word. nothing crazy. until then, these links will serve as a balm to your fevered brow.

lastly, happy birthday to this guy. 20+ years of faithful service. some tstout trivia (tstrivia™) - tom has given feedback / art direction advice on probably 99% of the stuff i have done. the unsung (and unpaid) hero of tstout.com. hard to believe he’s 51 years old. time flies. he’s been like a father to me.
