Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 23, 2021

Oh, so true.

Man, a quick dose of reality and self realization sets in.

I don’t think Arlo appreciates JJ using Stevie to belabor the point that trying to talk to some of us boomers involves speaking up.

You don’t have to shout. I’m not deaf.

“This is the guy….” WHAT???

My son and I no longer see eye to eye. He’s grown taller and I’ve shrunk with age.

Yep. He’s the guy.

Those were the Days, my friend.

You can tell where Jimmy lives… twice use of the regional idiom of Mr (first name). The fairly common southern custom engendering familiarity with respectful title….. common amongst the born and bred, not so common adopted by those transplants here from the north.

Uh, Stevie, how about, “Mr. Day”?

And, yet again, Arlo hears Beethoven knocking on the door.

Over there! And please, don’t hurt me!

Back in the days of picture tube TV, I bought one that would take two guys to move. Or so I thought. I pulled the truck up to the delivery area and Hagrid walked out with the set by himself. I say that because this guy was BIG! I had to use a hand truck to get it in the house. Handy thing to have.

Stevie is tall lean and evidently muscular?

Ahhhh, I remember having a good back. Once.

A national gym chain is reasonable and if you go during the afternnon you’ll be with other retired people. Like me.

… who was the strong man in the circus (?)

Comes the time in the life of a man when erstwhile “kids” become taller and stronger than we. That’s when we enter the fall season of our lives.

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings.

Looks a little like Bob Ross.

Stevie ate his brussel sprouts (sic) as a kid. lol

it’s agism. And I detest it.

Things get weak when you don’t use them. Stay active. I’m 71, still work on remodeling the house, yard work, garden, cutting trees down, and chopping wood. I go to a Chiropractic once every two months for an adjustment and I walk 3 miles every other day. Learn your limitations and stay within them. Our bones are more brittle, not a good age to break stuff.

Stevie may himself be hard of hearing.

Time flies, the older you get, the faster it goes

Take the help when it is offered, Arlo.

And he lifted it so easily.

Of course there is always buying 2 cases.

Mister Arlo?? Are they in Lousiana?

Ah, entropy sucks

Stevie just figures Arlo is old so he must be deaf.

I DO NOT GET THIS JOKE.
