Sawyer**, David Lee Roth in his Pasadena prime (aka DLR), and The Keith Urbanesque male. A pattern was forming, and there was the realisation this past week: The Hound has a Type.
With this Type comes a weakness. Having unbound oneself from the pull of Melbourne’s Mr Pink Tie (a shoo-in for this typecast male) comes the realisation that a relapse is possible. Thank goodness for rehabilitative LOST viewing for a good fix and classic DLR tunes.
More things were discovered on this isle of thought in this week’s episode of Fox & Hound.
At 175 Hound years, I have suffered an “Affluency Crisis”, or, Affluenza. The term is still not fully articulated, but applies to an overworked high earner. In this case, especially one who seeks the light of gypsy fires (credit DB there) but is lulled into a sense of financial security by the dimness of mediocrity.gov.au.
There was remedy in the thought of selling the anchoring investment property bought by the devil dealt dollar for a big boat at the end of the 12-18 month term. The purchase of some new manchester and a grey trench coat (Very Hound) was also made, feeding the bittersweet symptoms of the condition.
Thus, this Hound is bouncing on Safetynet.gov.au but still rigging the masts and keen to set sail once the right winds pick up.
**Tribute must be paid to Sketchy Bill’s mentionings of this show. The Hound is now hooked on the Sawyer element. Had The Hound known this earlier, dear Reader, … I’d still be among the millions who have no idea what is going on.
To the perpetual question, ‘who/what would you be marooned with on a desert island?’ This Hound would gladly be LOST. Pink Tie included.
