Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 22, 2024

Privately, Mavis thinks his brain is wrong.

As an accountant, Marcus requires extra rest this time of year — but, come April 16, he’s once again the life of the Ballard Street KitKat Klub and Toastmasters Hall (when the Seed Society, Groundhogs Guild, or the Tuba Choir isn’t in session).

Actually Mavis favors Tony the Weightlifter next door.

Seeing how he has positioned his book, it’s clear that Marcus also favors osmosis when it comes to absorbing new information – which explains a lot.

Well, that’s one way to fall asleep.

Adam goes left, Marcus goes right… And never the Twain shall meet…

Marcus’ right brain is all that’s left.

Not a wise move Marcus, you are leaving the left side exposed to attack from Mavis.. and there is nothing sharper than her tongue in all of Ballard St.

His wife loves the peace and guilt…Marcus does not snore, not even a peep!

Good morning Balladeers!

His right mind, however, is not all there.

His left brain isn’t doing him any favors.

I would think that he is favoring his left brain side even more, since there’s no pressure on it at all…

Interesting. Mavis favors her left hook.

Marcus hasn’t been in his right mind for years, so I find this surprising.

Good evening, Ballad dears!
