The Pillow People

It must be worth the effort. Otherwise, why would people do it. I'm talking about those people you occasionally see at the airport clutching a pillow to their chest like it was a loved one. Don't get me wrong. I like my pillow but I would never go to the trouble - and let's face it, embarassment- of carrying it around the world with me. There are lots of things I would like to have with me on the road like my mattress, espresso maker, 52" plasma tv, and lounge chair to name a few but I could never justify the effort for the the return. As my old friend Peter DeChellis used to say, "The juice ain't worth the squeeze." Are any of you out there a part of this strange and dedicated group of wackos? Can you help me to understand?

In the meantime, I'll sleep on it.

  1. Sleeping on planes without a pillow is killer, that's why.

  2. Will you be taking your pillow to NY?

  3. Most likely, but only because I'm flying a red-eye.

  4. You can use it to protect yourself in NY when people try to stab you. Or if you just want to take a nap in Central Park.
