also a good way to make sure the mirror is a real one

Gladys, Marcus’ wife isn’t too sure that he is real.

A brief pause to play Elvis singing “Man in the Mirror.”

If I looked like Marcus, I’d check too.

Especially first thing in the morning, you can’t trust a mirror.

This time it looks like it’s a “No.” The image in the mirror does not appear to be pointing/poking back at him. (His finger should be ‘touching’ its mirror image.)

The older you get, the more you have to check

Our beautiful one year old granddaughter does that when she sees her picture on my phone. Perhaps Marcus still can see the child within?

If Marcus isn’t seeing Marcus when he looks in a mirror perhaps he is somebody else today.

Sometimes, I wonder who that old woman is looking back at me. Then I put my teeth in.

“Hi, guy!” (Remember that one? ☺)

Will you stop poking me!

To remember who you were, you have to look back. To see who you are now, you still end up looking back.

What’s the deal with the earring? Seems out of character for the guy in the drawing.

A routine worth doing.. until you’ve have had your morning coffee you definitely are not yourself.

Might want to taper back on the medication some. :)

every morning i look in the mirror (shudder) and wonder “who IS that?”

Dressed the wayb he is, how can he possibly tell. Perhaps once shaved, the mystery will be solved???

Marcus doesn’t recognize himself some days.
