Recently at not an annual reunion but at a local collection of alumina gathering before our teamās hockey game, all the young folks were unmasked and full of chit-chat, but the white haired souls were off in a corner and only unmasked for the beer and free appetizers.
Sundayās Shermanās Lagoon was about his wifeās bad casserole. When I drew a parallel with our church pot lucks, I was cautioned about anonymity. My response was as pictured above, they would never assume I was speaking about them.
I have an interesting question. To the best of my memory, Trudeau was drawing his strips in 1971 or ā72 while I was in collegeāI read them whenever I could find a comics page on campus. But Mike, Zonker, BD, etc. was in the class of 1983? (Per yesterdayās strip?) In BDās case I can make allowances, because I remember him going to Vietnam in the middle of his studies. But it seems like an AWFULLY long college career for the others. I guess it was just the magic of comicsāafter all, the Peanuts kids were kids for nearly 50 years.
Sometimes what appears to be losing is someone who has chosen a different path than you.
There are times when in order to become who you really are, you must pass through a period of time of being who you are not. In other words in order to appreciate winning, you must know what losing feels like.
Reunions are a bad place to āre-frameā your life accomplishments. People gloss over things like failed businesses, violently ended marriages, and jail time. (Same with any online comparisons of your life to others.)

Donāt worry, Zonker. The losers are too embarrassed to come in your presence.

Winner or loser is mostly about self perception. Donāt pay attention to the naysayers.

Hmmā¦At 76 Iām pretty sure Iāve done nothing with my life. Itās not a big deal. Iāve pretty much met my ambitions.
