Glory Days
"I take a look in the mirror-
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face."- The Boss
Man- you know I'm in a bad funk when I'm quoting Springsteen...
I'm two months from 40.
FORTY!
Dead Man Walkin'...
I'm starting to feel it too...mornings are the worst-
my body sounds like Rice Krispies when I get out of bed....
I wanna shave my head or do something drastic...
"It's a mid-liiiife criiiiiyi-siiiiiisssss." as Faith No More would sing...
Hope I snap out of it...and soon...
Here's McKenna- in a rare pose rocking her eye patch.
We're seeing the doctor this month and hopefully,
she'll only hafta wear it two hours a day. (down from six)
I guess that's how you work a lazy eye into shape.
Wonder how you work a lazy artist into shape?
Ribbit!
P.S.- Sending our Prayers to Phred out West Eric...Hope she's up and about soon.

Nice Glenn, you are doing a great job on these. Sorry to hear about McKenna. I hope she gets better, but for some reason she looks in good spirits. God Bless her.
Dude..welcome to the 40 club! I was there last week....feels the same...except for the day of and you wake up and realize - oh shit - I'm forty!
Didn't know about McKenna's eye thing....good luck with that.
PS nice drawing!
Hey Glenny, don't sweat it, turning 40 is a breeze. Despite the eye patch, this drawing is beautiful, bro. Hope McKenna's eye gets better soon! And btw, nice Faith No More reference...haven't heard that song in quite a while.
Hey Reverend. Nice sketch - and great, I think, to include the bad stuff in your chronicles. Life isn't all lollipops and swingsets. And hopefully treating it as normal will make it easier for the little dickens to do what she needs to do. Jake had some pity parties for himself early on with his whole Colitis thing. But we nipped that in the bud, and it's pretty routine now - no popcorn, take your meds, and go to the treatments every six weeks. It's not a big deal any more. Although we do have to remind him about the meds still.
On the 40 thing, I'm there next May. But I've been feeling it for a couple of years now. Like if I were to maybe drink a little too much, the hangover lasts for frigging days! And I've got some arthritis kicking in. But it's life, and considering the alternative, I'll take it.
I dig the shaved head thing. Just make sure you have a round head before you do it. Maybe just take it down with clippers first and see what's what. It worked for me, I think. Although Phred's got me growing it out. She likes it at fuzzy tennis ball length.
Thanks for the prayers and thoughts and all. I set up a webcam so I can keep an eye on her and here her if she needs me.
She's sleeping right now with Cody at her feet. Tomorrow will be a week since the accident and I think we're going to try to get her moving around a little more and in to the hot tub for some spa therapy.
Sorry to hear about Darin.
Also weirdly enough, we watched Old School again last night. At the beginning of the movie, The Godfather gets in the cab to the airport after ducking out of the real estate seminar early. He says to the cabbie, "My seat belt apears to be broken, what do you suggest I do?"
And the cabbie says, "I suggest you stop being such a fa***t, you're in the back."
Hey Glenn - I've posted a challenge on my blog. Hop over there and accept or reject in the comments before the first pitch!
40 is killer!
You go to the Dr 4 x a year
Find out you have High Choleterol, High Blood Pressure so Dr puts you on Meds for the rest of your life prior to your first Heart Attack where you receive a by-pass or a couple of stents
It's simply wonderful at 40!
Then you realize how immortal you really are and begin to take care of yourself the way you should have for the past twenty years
