DO YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW IF TOM IS YOUR FATHER? Tom says, emphatically, "NO!" Ancestry.com has been sold to private equity group Blackstone. Who knows what they'll do with all that genetic information? One thing's for sure: don't knock on Tom's door!

TOM'S EVOLUTION DURING HIS ONE-YEAR LOCKDOWN Through this COVID epidemic, Tom has had plenty of time for reflection. Good news: that wasn't depression he was experiencing. It was something else. Something good and natural.
