Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 23, 2021

Especially after five cups of espresso.

Mark is splendidly simple. Also kookoo.

Maybe Mark should take some styling tips from Stewart (yesterday).

Even at his young age, Mark has Ballard pattern baldness.

Mark is simply nuts with a capital “N”.

Give Mark some crayons so he can color his surroundings splendidly. I wish my copier wasn’t out of ink.

Ever since Mark’s labotomy everything is simply splendid.

Mark grins and nods. All of the time.

Say what you will….

I’d rather be around Mark than some other people.

Gloom and doom can be a way of life too…. and I’ll pick “splendid.”

Ouch! My eyes hurt with that carpet…oy

The “happy” pills the doctor gave him are working. He hasn’t moved that facial expression in ten days!

I remember kinda Mark from the 60s

It’s obvious that his antidepressant is far, far better than mine.

But, as Scooter hasn’t made his rounds yet, that is likely to change…

(⚆﹏つ ⚆)

Mark is the envy of Ballard St. not a care in the world.. splendid indeed. Folk come from far afield to bask in his presence.

Everything Is Awesome!

For those without grandkids, that is from The Lego Movie. The whole point is that pop culture is insipid.

I’m simple. And splendid.

Ah, one of those “glass half-crazy” people.

Good for you, Mark! Keep it up!

Mark is a huge fan of Norman Vincent Peale.

I’ll have what he’s having! :)

Cheerful optimists…….kill them!! Kill them all!!
