Go bold

A while back I observed that most of my clothing is dirt colored. Do they still call those earth tones? That’s practical when living out in sticks, but it’s boring. So I bought a red t-shirt, then a marigold one. Yeah! That was more like it.

Then, since I’d be staying in Los Angeles a while, where deliveries are far less problematic than, say, the middle of a dirt pile somewhere, I did some online shopping. I saw an amazing shirt on Etsy. Patchwork African cloth. My size. One left. Seven people holding it in their cart. I beat them to the punch (or there was actually more than one left). Behold my walking strong and happy chemotherapy shirt. I. Am. In. Charge.

Maybe the shirt will startle the cancerous cells away

One of the nice things about Los Angeles is a guy like me can wear this shirt and get compliments instead of hostile looks. Hmmm, maybe I’ll start wearing my robe about town, too.

    1. Which is fortuitous. Otherwise we loose bits might never have found each other.

    1. HPV — human papillomavirus. They say that's oddly fortunate since the type of cancer it causes responds better to treatment than the kind caused by smoking, for example.

  5. You finally represent in clothing a somewhat accurate representation of the spiritual road warrior you truly are. Majestic, yet subdued, opulent yet reserved, fuckin cool.
