Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 22, 2021

I neeed more light for reading as I get older.

Just as long as there’s never a red bulb in it, Roxanne.

As we all age softer light is kinder. It might not be good for reading but let’s just leave it at that.

Janis is lit.

Woo Hoo! A new whoopie lamp.

At least she still wants a lamp to light !

The Klieg light days have passed?

Everything starts to shrink after 50 except the ears and nose…

The dimmer the light, the better I look.

Arlo, maybe Janis will want to “see” how that light works later tonight.

Aw, I was hoping it was an aroma therapy lamp.

Cut to the chase: get a blindfold.

Arlo doesn’t know his way around their bedroom in the dark? Puh-leez!

Even if Janis rubs “the lamp,” Arlo is afraid it will still be a “little lamp.”

A whoopie lamp is a whoopie lamp no matter how small. — Dr. Seuss

mood lamp?

Me too Arlo, me too.

A smaller lamp hides aging flaws!

They sell dimmer switches now that control any size lamp.

Such is the way, Arlo, such is the way…

I wonder how big is the lamp in Suzanne Somers bedroom.

Sung to the tune of “Turn your lamp down low”.

Too much light will spoil the ambience. Let imagination take over, Arlo.

All my lamps hand 250 watt bulbs.

Bedroom lamps have to be tall enough to shine on my book. What Janis is holding is just a night-light.

It’s not the size of the lamp, but how you use it, up to a point.

I say that God makes our near sight worse as we get older so that we don’t see the wrinkles in our lover’s faces when we get together to kiss.

Helps to hide the dings and dents.

That was a nudge nudge wink wink moment…..say no more

that’s backwards: As we age our non corrected vision worsens and we need more illumination.l

Candles. Go with candles. And incense. And time. Plenty of time.

There is no cord on that lamp. I am guessing it uses tea candles maybe? Or just cords aren’t attractive to include in the drawing maybe.

It does make the videos blurrier though.

All cats are gray in the dark. Attributed to Ben Franklin.

It’s better to light one small lamp…

And the whoopie light shines on. Just not the way Arlo remembers.
