Back to the Old City where I'll be in a hotel room again. It was nice, in its own way, being in a small space with few things around me that required my extensive management abilities. A bed, an easy chair, a bathroom, and a microwave, and I was pretty well set. Dinner often consisted of variations on the theme of heating up some packaged brown rice, mixing in a can of beans and a can of vegetables, and slicing up some fresh bread, with a Snickers bar for dessert. I brought along about three days worth of clothes, which I had to wash every three days. Surprisingly, I didn't feel at all deprived with my lack of pants selection. Blue, khaki, black. What other colors are there? All those clothes I own seemed ridiculous and I'm not a clothes guy. I don't have that many pairs of pants but I'll tell you I think they're all blue, khaki, black. I can't even think of any other colors that men's pants can be. Gray? Maybe there's a gray pair in there that I've had for 20 years and were too tight around the waist 15 years ago.
I do this thing when I travel where I leave an item of clothing in each place that I lay my head. It's my way of spreading my essence around the world, like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant.
