I'm a big fan of Monk, and only partly because Dr. Kroger reminds me of my therapist. There was an hilarious episode that I have always wanted to bring in and show my therapist. Dr. Kroger retires (for that episode), and Monk is so distraught that he does all the things I'd think of doing if my therapist retired, even though of course I'd never do it.

I've gotten better about worrying about my therapist most of the time. He's five years older than I am, and neither of us are in good shape. But he's promised to try to outlive me.

Still, every once in a while I get reminded and worried.
