The Pause That Refreshes
My friend Dr. Richard Brown, a psychologist based in New York, called me to thank me for yesterday's cartoon. He was grateful, he said, for the idea of how he could triple his income. He told me of the time, a number of years ago, when he was working in a large medical building in which a number of other psychologists also had offices. Late every day as he left work he encountered numerous of his colleagues in the elevator, all of them, like he, bleary-eyed with fatigue. Only one, however, always appeared fresh and rested. When asked, finally, how he managed it, he replied, "who listens?"

I guess at the heart of it our problems aren't all that unique. A triple decker couch would probably cut to the chase a whole lot quicker and also save on wear and tear! (((giggles)))
I have never reclined on a couch and talked about my life to someone I had to pay. I made my children listen to me instead. But they still love me anyway. LOL
John, I have to ask: Is Jackson Pollock the inspiration for your artist series? Did you know him?
On second thoughts... (in a classic freudian slip)... maybe that should have read cut to the "chaise"!!! A-hem... LOL
Good retort, Jean, definitely 'chaise', says she laughing. Next to Jeremy, AA is my favorite, I share so many of his views. Thank God for wine at the end of the day when sitting down to dine especially after the canvas just does not behave. I hate big blank canvases with not a single stroke on their pure surface. They intemidate me, says she with a big sigh.
Love the commenatary tonight, John C.
Katherine, certainly Pollock was one conscious influence, though I'm a Pollock fan. I never met him, but I heard stories of him from Tom Benton.
