I too remember the “I have a plan” cartoon from the New Yorker. Peter Wangersky had it pinned up in his office at Yale. Got me through graduate school (Yale MS ’59, Stanford PhD 1966) too. You said in your post it was your version. Do you know the name of the cartoonist? Browman? If so, I’ve having no luck tracing him or an original version of the cartoon. Any hints would be helpful. Thanks
My name is Ali and I am the outreach coordinator at Memory Keeper Project (MKP), an organization that gives seniors a voice through video, photo and written narrative.
We would love your help in reaching our audience, seniors with stories to tell. Our mission is to give The Greatest Generation an opportunity to record their stories for generations to come.
Please let me know if you’re interested in participating, and I would be happy to provide more information on how MKP works. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I’m help with copyright research for an independent publisher. She is writing a book about customer service and would like to use one of your comics in the book. How can we obtain the correct publishing permission? The comic in question is the “No Complaining” sign and the caption reads “Deprived of her favorite means of expression, Kathy was speechless – much to the relief of her coworkers.”
That version of the license says non-commercial. I don’t mind you using it as long as other people can still use it under the CC license. I suppose the attribution should be Jean Browman/cheerfulmonk.com
Of course! The book is by an Independent Author, Jean Steel. She is writing her second book, this one about customer service as it relates to the medical profession. I would be happy to have her email you in person, if you would like!
FWIW I attempted to make a second comment on a different post several times, even after, refreshing, and was rejected — told I had left that comment before. This is untrue — here it is for your post preceding the most current one: Also, querty covers all but Name so very hard to access address and URL since I have to fill-in each time.
I, too, have antenna TV by choice — receive all the major commercial stations and their secondary ones, plus 2 public TV stations — have my land line and cell phone. Don’t want cable, but only problem is ny Internet speed slow as molasses and can only upgrade if I install cable line. Could refuse TV but little cost reduction.
I wanted to let you know that I got an email supposedly from you saying there were changes to todays post. I didn’t click on the link that was provided because it had cheerfulmonk.com then todays date and the post title of don’t get your hopes up. I knew that wasn’t the title you had on your post today. It came from the email address jbrowman@aol.com.
Good evening Jean. I’m Myra, aka Mevely at mevely317.blogspot. I’ve seen you at my dear friend Sandra (MadSnapper) and Big’s place … but not until today when I saw you’d commented on another blog re. cooking at 7,200 feet did my brain begin ‘hmmm-ing.’ Sure enough, I saw a post in early June about THE fire … but I was unable to comment. I grew up in Los Alamos! Anyway, I’m sure enjoying your commentary about life in the Jemez. The last time I was up the Hill was a few days after the Cerro Grande fire. From what my former classmates have shared, the town’s changed so much since ’68; I’m not sure I’d like to revisit. And there’s that little thing about a virus … ANYway, happy to meet you! I’ve subscribed to your blog updates, and look forward to reading more!
I’m so enjoying your photos … in particular the sight of your Christmas tree up on the land. Would you mind telling me …. were I standing, say at the high school, what direction would I look to see this?
Thanks, and have a super day!
I wrote you an email, with two little maps, showing where the house and viewing place is. It’s an over-half-an-hour drive up in the mountains. The title of the email is “our place”, it’s sent from my main email account, not from CheerfulMonk.

G’evening, Jean. I didn’t want to ask in the comments, but wonder: Where did the old County building sit in relation to what it looks like now? My mother worked there for years; where I took my driver’s test. Both on your pictures and what I see on FB, I’m totally flummoxed. It’s so different… but then, so is life. Thanks so much!
Good morning, Jean!
Re. my comment/your question in yesterday’s post. After relocating from Florida to Arizona in 2002 , I went to work as assistant/sec’y. to the GM at The Legacy Golf Resort — near the base of South Mountain. Are you familiar with it, by chance?
I’ve a question, myself. Have you always lived in your current apartment? My folks didn’t leave LA until ’81, but I don’t remember seeing those apartments when I’d visit. (Lots I don’t remember, LOL!) We first lived in the Chapel Apartments, then in 1960 moved to a quad on Alabama.
