Happy Birthday, Tom!
Today marks the last of what has been a birthday-filled February here in the Vision office. Although he is immersed in language on a daily basis, Tom is (ironically)Ā a man of few words… at least when prodded with questions about himself. š However, despite a busy schedule and a tad of resistance, weĀ managed to snag a few minutes with our residentĀ world-traveler for an interview on his birthday.
