BRAINPAN LEAKAGE

Hamster Month Continues on Brainpan Leakage…

Image Copyright © M. R. Sellars – This would be the only Merp Toon I took great pains to schedule chronologically in this blog series. This took place the first February I worked for the new company – on February 20th, in fact, as noted in the caption. On that day the staff of the new workplace surprised me with a mess of off-key singing and morning donuts.

For those of you who may not have caught on, today is my birthday. Back then I was turning 34. Today, I’m not. Believe me, I’d like to be turning 34 – as long as I could know what I now know. Know what I mean, ya’ know? Unfortunately, Merp still hasn’t perfected the Wayback Machine – except on paper and dry erase board of course.

More to come…

Just a quick and simple nod to my father, M. R. Sellars SENIOR, who left this world most unexpectedly one October night in 2005, sparking nationwide rumors of my own untimely but not yet realized death. If he’d been here to see that I’m sure he would have found it highly amusing.

Russell Sellars wasn’t one for pomp and circumstance, so making a big deal about things just wouldn’t do in his eyes, however, today would have been his 70th birthday.

So, without fanfare, here’s to you, Dad. Thanks for making me who I am today, and as I’ve said before – If in my lifetime I am able to eventually achieve being even half the man you were, I will have accomplished my goal.

And, just as you would have celebrated this day in a sedate fashion, I will be doing so as well. I already have the scotch sitting out, a cigar waiting in the humidor, and a spot on the porch swing so that I can take your often repeated advice – relax and take some time to smell the roses, because you never know when you’ll be out of time.

Your son…
