Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 31, 2022

The sign of the times.

I can see my future directly in the eyes right now …

Does Allen have a staff to make signs like this for him?

Is there a prompter in his bathroom mirror?

Allan has always been one goal short of a day…

Shouldn’t he be wearing two signs, “Stand up” and “Put on the next sign”?

Allen is blind as a bat and can’t even see far enough to read the signs – which is too bad, of course, as he has one telling him where his glasses are…

And the one from The Far Side, “first pants, then shoes”

Stand in the place where you live, Now face north, Think about direction, wonder why you haven’t before

Enabling leads to lameness

Not very far from the truth. Been retired 20 years, and still make a “to do” list daily. Keeps me from any hint of boredom.

[KLUNK!]

Allen missed one: “WAKE UP”

For Allen it is one step at a time based on directions!

It’s a good thing he has a missus that lays them out for him.

That’s one small step for a man…

Going to need a LOT more cards.

One step at a time.

This looks like the reminders I give my twelve year old!

Was it Bill Engvall whose tag line was “Here’s your sign”? Allen is one of Bill’s fans.

What a great idea!

That’s scary similar to my phone calendar events.

I am Allen.

Allen’s favourite song is "Signs, Signs, Everywhere Are Signs.

Does Allen have a sign that says, “Put one foot in front of the other.”?

This is actually something people suffering from dementia might do. My mom had papers like those for days of the week so she knew what day it was. My best friend would forget the names of common things around the house. Not really a funny situation.
