In winter, would you rather wear jackets or hoodies?
Old suit jackets I bought for $3 at Goodwill, for the following reason: awesome
Do you wish you were somewhere else right now?

One day, years ago, I wrote the following, stream-of-consciousness style, immediately upon waking. Something about crapping out a sort of story out of my subconscious while still in a half-asleep daze makes me smile. Here it is:
