Somerset even has its own Mr. Allora who is responsible for throwing out the gawkers who come to gaze upon the contentment of the residents and the many other amenities.

Hanna, if the residents at Charterstone didn't depress you, you have nothing to worry about.

The way Mary keeps calling their prescriptions "items," I get the impression their items are not just simple statins. I'm dying to know what embarrassing things she picked up, and why is Karen Moy protecting their privacy?

When Mary presses firmly on the soft flesh of her cheek, a floating head pops out of her ear.

Hmmm... Maybe this person who speaks like a bad brochure would be willing to take Hanna off of our hands at Charterstone.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Hanna... slow down. When Mary says, "Let me know if I can do anything for you," it's a little presumptuous of you to actually ask her for help, don't you think?

Over the weekend Mary persuaded Hanna to get her eyeglass prescription checked... erm, no, I mean, to stop driving. Yes, that was the logical solution to two near misses in the parking lot. But the Charterstone Menace has seen the revelatory light, and as heavenly cherubs sing praises from above, Hanna enters the world of senior shuttles and Meals on Wheels. And maybe even new glasses.

When English professors get flummoxed, they turn to meaningless idioms. I can't criticize Ian in this case, however; true, cars do not have teeth, but teeth do not have skin. Thus, his usage is as correct as any. Wait a minute... his lips have grown so full and pouty... perhaps that is what he's referring to.
Now that we know there was no accident, we understand why Joe Giella used "SCREECH" instead of "CRASH" in Thursday's strip. But what was with the white flash that seemed to indicate impact? Perhaps it was a marshmallow blast that cushioned the blow. Perhaps it was his car's teeth skin.

At Charterstone, people just stand outside the door and shout 'Hanna Dingdon' when they want to come in.
In this case, Ian couldn't open his own door because he is so drunk the police took away his keys.

I can honestly say that I did not see Ian coming either. The accident... yes, we all saw that a few weeks ago... but Ian? Well, all I can say is welcome back. It's been so long, I almost forgot about this:
My review of The Wes Letters
The Wes Letters by Feliz Lucia MolinaMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
First of all, my name is Wes Andersen... similar, but not the same as Wes Anderson... so I admit there was something narcissistic about my reading this book in the first place. The authors have come up with a clever hook on which to hang their sometimes humorous, sometimes witty, frequently vulgar, and always self absorbed essays. I was disappointed as I became increasingly more aware that they weren't even sending these so-called letters to the sui generis director. Without that, the entire collection was hollow and even more insincere. Yes, their three individual voices are distinct: One smart, one sad, one vile -- but as a whole, the book is an experiment going nowhere.

In other words, Hanna spent four hours a night, three nights a week, vaguely aware of what television program Amy was watching. Parenting is such a burden.

"I have a brother?" Now I am convinced more than ever that Amy's father is Darth Vader.

What the heck kind of date is Amy going on? Eighties Dance Party? Well, by all means, bring Little Gordon along. His giant head has that gorgeous Sean Cassidy hair thing going on, and he'll fit right in.

Hanna's alter-ego in the looking glass seems to be saying, "Hanna, you may have stopped raising your kids a little prematurely."
