I know Jeff set up a clinic in Vietnam, to which, I assume, Drew is not heading. So this must be another clinic established by his father, to which Drew is genetically obligated to devote countless volunteer hours in an effort to appease his Dad, thus allowing him to occupy his childhood bedroom rent free.

That whooshing sound is all of us MW & Me people exhaling in relief - aaaaahhhhhh.
Isn’t it an MW rule that all doctors must be depicted with a stethoscope draped around their neck? It’s been so long, maybe June forgot that.
The woman by the window is bemused that Drew is addressing that green...pillar? Space between the windows showing trees in the background? What IS that?
Oh, it's not over. It's not over at all.
Guess who the first patients at the clinic will be? A certain gentleman of senior years and his lady friend, who have been, shall we say, increasingly intimate after their trips to the mall, and now there are persistent symptoms "down there" that will herald a rude awakening among the Charterstone senior set.
The story will end in an eye roll from Mr Allora, who always knew what these freakazoids were up to, or as he puts it, "They're not hangin around just for the salmon squares."
Thank you all for your extremely kind comments and good wishes yesterday. I like to think I wasn't just fishing for sympathy, but rather disclosing a personal condition to make a point about the "Endless Bummer" story. Today, however, assuming Halifaxer's prediction does not come to pass, this apparently new story reminds me that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Maybe Mary will even let Jeff stay overnight someday.
@Yahoonski, didn't think you were fishing. Community is what you and everyone else needs now. The world is nuts. As to the Jeff story: I can't wait. Will Mary and Jeff have dinner at the Bum Boat and sit in the booth with that fish on the wall and then take a ride in Jeff's boat with Mary spouting her usual platitudes?
KitKat - I think June drew Drew (ha ha) trying, without success, to push open that heavy glass door. Good thing the lady in purple with the Dwayne Johnson pipes showed up just in time to let him out. News flash, June. I think most medical facilities now have automatic doors. Of course, looking at the wall behind Dr. Jeff, this might be Bedrock Hospital, not Mountview.
I can't wait for tomorrow when Drew shows up at the emergency clinic and the entrance looks like the steps at Michu Picchu.

Oops.. make that Machu Picchu... I knew I should have looked it up first!

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Cue Cards For Dr. Jeff's Fundraiser Infomercial".
Clinic.
Interesting mix
Of ills!
Give!
Our long national SaulEve nightmare is over. Let the healing begin. Moy has finally decided that we've had suffered enough, and shown us mercy
So I can cancel my second dose of SaulEve vaccine?
Hard to imagine a doctor who uses phrases like "interesting mix of ills". Does he ask his patients, "How about some pills to go with that interesting mix of ills?" I am grateful to JB, though for that gray by Dr. Jeff's temples so I don't mix him up with his son. They remind me of two birds in the backyard feeder. And, Yahoonski, ditto the comments of everyone else with a big hope for your healing! This community has saved my sanity in ways you will never know. Bring on the Snark21 vaccine, a preventative against gloom and boring certainty!
This was just like the end of The War of the Ring-when all hope was lost, when despair had won, good suddenly triumphed. The definition of eucastrophy.
Yahoonski: So sorry for your troubles.

Yahoonski, just checking in after awhile and saw your post about bad news. I'm so sorry to hear that. It seems like 2021 is simply an extension of 2020. Sending sincere wishes for some good news to come your way.
I am fairly new to the community, but I hope things turn out well, Yahoonski. It is nice to know that people can connect that have never met in person. It is a relief to see that Saul and Eve have ridden off into the Chatterstone sunset.
