When i was leaving for this last trip to Asia, i was at a thrift store and picked up season four of the old television show MacGyver. I knew what it was about- a guy with a mullet that fixed everything with duct tape and a swiss army knife. I mean, we use his name as a verb nowadays, yet i still don't think i ever saw an episode over the course of my life (which spanned the 80's). i decided to buy the discs and get familiar with the legend... if i ended up bored in an airport or something.
Little did i know that i would be sick to some degree for the entirety of my trip, and that my illness (mono) would involve days on end of being in bed, decreased concentration, and difficulty focusing my eyes- which made reading my lost love. So naturally, with all this being sick in bed, the MacGyver discs came into play.
The MacGyver character is my new television hero... he is innovative, sacrificial, a gentlemen (although he does seem to enjoy all the ladies that throw themselves at him), and is all around a pretty legit guy. He never uses guns; granted he turns everything he touches into an explosive- but its always for a good cause. He is never self interested.
Being in Maui, i am feeling more normal but still unwell- and will be seeing a doctor soon. In the meantime, MacGyver continues to help me pass the time. His bedside manner is next to none:)
