Bachelor
Bill:
I
stopped by to see an old golfing buddy last month just to shoot the
breeze. I hadn’t been in a “Bachelor Pad” for a number of years, so this was
almost a new experience for me. He greeted me at the door and said, “Welcome to
the Man Cave.” I don’t know if I would have called it a cave because he had
more electronics strung around than NASA. Except for the tangle of wires and a
few crumpled beer cans here and there, it was tidy enough. The overall theme of
the place was what I would call Polish Carnival Eclectic. Even with the
tasteless furnishings, it had a certain degree of comfort. One could really
learn to love the deep soft feel of a genuine leather couch, and the 70”flat
screen TV could go a long way toward satisfying the inner man.
I’ve
never thought of Fly Rods as decorative art before, but they didn’t bother me
near as much as the 7 hp outboard motor clamped onto the back of a kitchen
chair did. I noticed that where the kitchen range should have been Bill had
installed a huge gas grill. Between the grill and the industrial size microwave
I think Bill had all of his cooking needs covered. I saw at least one shotgun in every room –
you never know when a rabbit or quail might pop up. Having been married and
living in the civilized world for over 50 years there are certain standards I’d
learned to expect, and with that in mind, I’ll just say that the 5 second rule
does not apply in the Man Cave.
“Life is much too important
to be taken seriously.”
