Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 07, 2021

What!?!? “Don’t blow it!?” 8^ )

Good advice actually!

Life happens and plans change. Most changes are not planned or under your control. You have to adapt and keep moving forward.

The best parts of my life were not planed.

It’s actually “life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” John Lennon

I understand the “Don’t Blow It”, just need something more specific.

Just don’t do the wrong thing. What’s the right thing? No idea. Just don’t do the wrong thing.

When you’re our/my age….I hate when I hear myself saying that.

If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.Wish he ’d give me a hint of his plans.

John Lennon used the lines in his ‘Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)’.

Somewhat poor choice of words. Wherewithal generally refers to financial resources, which they generally lack. So no, you can control your destiny; you can only discover it.

The more Jimmy draws, the more it reminds me of Crockett Johnson’s drawing—Mary Lou in that last panel, side view especially.

save for a few powerful people, we mortals have no destiny.

“Don’t Blow it!” I’m not sure her husband would agree with that.

nothing irks me quite as much as not getting a dress rehearsal for life

One has to be older to best understand what to do when younger.

The in-law syndrom. <];o)

We learn by blowing things and making mistakes. Easier said than done…..

How is “Don’t blow it” the best part? I would think “You have each other” is the best part.

“Take a sad song and make it better…” (Hey Jude was also written for Julian Lennon…)
