    He takes off his suit and puts on the silky apparel when he wants to feel… special.  Soft.  Pampered.

    Thinking I should get one of those gel masks that you can warm up. After decades of using my eyes to coordinate actions that had to be quickly accomplished, I don’t blink properly any more and they are constantly dry. Learning to sleep again is another thing.

    …each set of silky shuteye masks comes with its own silky carry bag…

    …the masks are secret because Charles runs the Froglandia School for the blind…

    …and teaching students how to build window blinds to shut the light out…

    …the shame they’d feel if they found their master…

    …still needed a mask to sleep…

    …[yes, some student created blinds still let the light in]…

    …but Charles just liked the silky bags…

    …the lavender bag was his favorite…

    …but the forest green one…

    …Alfred must never know…

    This Very Serious Document Handler spent years in therapy, trying to relieve the pressure of maintaining his Very Serious outward demeanor. But then he happened upon a soft, satiny, and highly alliterative secret stash of silky shuteye masks, and he can now afford vacation trips to New Orleans for St. Patrick’s Day and/or Mardi Gras.

    Does he also have a secret hideout and nap spot under his desk, like George? A sign on the door reads: Shhhh, don’t be knockin’, turn around & keep walkin’.

    …you should see what they got on J Edgar Hoover…

    …you decide…

    …Klinger…

    …drag queen or just some nut trying to get out?…

    …and Bing Crosby?…

    …Mel Gibson…

    …mmmm…

    …perhaps I protest too much…

    …I think I’ll just slip on my silky shuteye mask…

    …and take a nap, instead…

    And now you’ve outed the poor guy!

    I hope you feel good about yourself. Don’t you have an intimate secret or two, too? Beware, Karma….
