HOTEL ROOM TELEVISION

 

 

You never know what you’re going to end up doing.  You have time to kill before the brewpub opens.  You already had breakfast and you’re just lounging around in your hotel room with about an hour to kill.  The jet lag is hitting as you arrived around 1:00 AM after crossing 4 time zones.  There’s an HBO special on Andre the Giant.  Hey as a wrestling fan back in the 70’s and 80’s, Andre the Giant was a legend.  The promised coffee maker wasn’t in the room.  You can’t torment your gut with cheap, instant coffee.  I chew on a Starburst from a half empty bag.  It’s interesting to see how old all these boyhood idols of yours have gotten.  You’ll be wandering to a brewery soon enough.  They talk about how much beer Andre could drink.  You just don’t see yourself tossing down that many beers.  But you will enjoy a few and eat some fine seafood for dinner later.  A good part of traveling is waiting for the right moment to make your move and biding your time with hotel room television seems to kill off the downtime.


something good real soon

clinging to faith we endure

pitiful sitcoms

sloppy moments slip away

the uninspired laughter
