So true! So true!
But you gotta question the qualifications of that therapist. Did you notice where she got her degrees???
Faber College (Animal House); Huxley College (Marx Bros. Horsefeathers); Wossamata U (Rocky & Bullwinkle!)
Me too!!!!!
Me three!!
Love it. It could be me and any one of many friends!
More deep truth from Gary Martin.
One of the great things about getting older
Name some other “great things.”
ha! That’s me!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Given that it’s hard to believe that the things that actually did happen yesterday, I see no problem in this.
Love this one, Gary. Been thinking of the elusive nature of memory a lot lately, and this captures the tender quality of remembering. Thank you!
Very cute and extremely relatable! Ha! ha!
Truth be told!
I was just thinking the same thing yesterday! Or was I?
No, that was someone else.
“Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there!
He wasn’t there again today,
I wish, I wish he’d go away! …”
Absolutely. I have the utmost confidence in my hallucinations.
me too. I trust your hallucinations! They’re so much better than mine.
Maybe we could all get our hallucinations together and go bowling!
Sounds just like me
Love Gary’s unique view of things
Me too!!!
So much fun to read.
I’m assuming he’s in therapy because he remembers things that never happened. Clearly this isn’t a relational analyst.
Great minds think alike …
“The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened.”.
-Mark Twain
“I never said all those things I said”
-Yogi Berra
At least you still have memories.
Enjoy seeing his cartoons
Ain’t that the truth! I don’t remember today!
Love this!
Ah, the good old non-days. ditto
