The Towel

Some months ago, I was showering after a swim at the Y, and someone absconded with my towel. There was some other guy showering, and some kids running around, but being essentially blind without glasses, I didn't see what happened. I didn't consider my towel a high risk theft item, and don't need glasses, unless of course, when in the women's shower. (Which would be a more interesting post than this one,if further away from reality)

What to do? I shook myself off, dressed wet, and experienced a James Bond moment. I could go anywhere and retain my composure, just like when Bond escaped from the locked hospital ward in pajamas, and walked into a five star hotel, requesting the best suite and expensive liquor. I think I went to dance class.

Regardless of how f'd up life gets, I think back to "Touching the Void", the standard for a bad situation, or think What would Bond do now?" So, until my dentist starts screaming "Is it Safe ?!!", or my dick explodes, I'm fine with inconveniences (challenges) reminding me of just how good life is if you allow it to be.
