My Therapists' Office
So I'm walking along Macculoch Avenue in Morristown this afternoon and this guy trying to sell me a historic walking tour points across the street and says: "That's Thomas Nast's house! He was the cartoonist who created the democratic donkey and the republican eleph-" I said, "Yeah, yeah, I know who he is." He created Uncle Sam and made Santa Claus jolly image famous.He brought down the Tweed ring, and the Nast in Conde-Nast Publishing (i.e. The New Yorker, Harpers Magazine, Atlantic Monthly I think, etc.) is named after him. And do you know what house this guy was pointing at?
My first therapists' office. That made my day.
What kids need these days is a sense of place, a sense of belonging.
Not medication. Not mandatory therapy.
Warm Regards,
