The Idiot spent the first week of spring in 2017 at the fabled Siwa Oasis in Egypt’s Western Desert to consult The Oracle of Amun and get the inside scoop about Alexander the Great’s past and the future of his 20-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea.
William Shakespeare’s soothsayer might have urged Julius Caesar to “Beware the Ides of March” (and Caesar should have) but The Idiot has always enjoyed the 74th day in the Roman calendar. That’s because it’s between National Pi Day on 3/14, which is an important holiday for pi and pie lovers, and Saint Patrick’s Day on 3/17.
It’s now been just over a year since The Idiot enjoyed an adventure outside the United States. The pandemic confinement has resulted in the longest period he’s continuously been on U.S. soil since he was a sophomore in high school 55 years ago.
What will you see when The Idiot curates photos of himself, masked and socially distanced, during the past year?
There were ample reasons for The Idiot to be well-armed during his 20-year-walk around the Mediterranean Sea.
It’s been almost a year since The Idiot hosted a dinner inside a restaurant (“A place where people pay to not social distance and eat someone else’s food”) and to recall the variety of food available on earth during the isolating pandemic he tends to think of the cuisine in the countries he visited during his 20-year-walk around the Mediterranean Sea.
