This sketch does not faithfully represent Mike’s amusement (presumably at his situation). The reference photo shows a devilish smile that I just could not capture. The folks responsible for Mike at that time, frequently had to call emergency services to help take care of him. The visit depicted below must not have been too serious, since he was enjoying himself.

I have a feeling this was fairly recent; before Mike was 70 and after he was 40?
Thanks Adelaide! It was recent-ish. In thinking about it, I can say it is definitely before 2007. Thanks for following Mike’s progress!!

That is a great expression. Very knowing. It would be so interesting to understand his thoughts. I often felt that way during my mothers years of alzheimers. (K)
Understanding Mike’s thoughts was a lifelong (unsuccessful) experiment.
