The math of aloneness

[klwilliams]

With only one person, there's

half the number of pillows, but twice the bed space
half the number of towels
twice the number of toothbrushes
zero people already up and dressed, who will go out and bring in the newspaper
all the cherries, but no one to share

Good point. We fill the space that they leave behind.

Oddly, I don't; I stay on my half of the bed. Sometimes I let my teddy bear join me, just as a place marker.

But I don't mind eating more than my share of cherries...
