I wanna read it...
Hey Eric, is this story still on your blog, a decade later? I tried the link but it goes to your most recent post, not the one referenced in this post.....

The bug blog
Until I got to the last sentence of your blog, all I could wonder was how in the world someone lost their pants. I mean, I guess if you use your imagination, what with it being a college campus and all...but still! Then I read it was a corduroy jacket, though...and that's just not as humorous. But hey, what about that denim...? :)

Also, thank you for the hilarious image I now have of a cockroach wearing gloves and a scarf. Lol! My mind has morphed it into a cockroach driving a cherry red convertible down the highway with pretty scarf blowing in the wind and brown leather driving gloves clutched tightly to the wheel. Lol! And, of course, 'La Cucaracha' playing on the radio.

I love your writing, Eric. Great style and fun and engaging to read. (Hey! I guess that's why you're a writer!)
