01-Aug-13Fearlessness and Affection in Las Vegas.
01-Aug-13http://vintagegoodness.com/vintage-goodness-on-ebay/ Our night in St. George was our first in a bed – each night going across the country our hospitium had been a floor – and we took advantage of our opportunity, sleeping soundly and late. It was to be our last night in a bed until the other side of the Sierras. This good […]
From Denver to St. George.
24-Jul-13We got up before it was light and showered and dressed in the dark, then left silently, not wanting to wake up Rachel’s grandmother. The day was just beginning to lighten outside as we hit the road. Amazingly, the highway was already eight lanes of red lights plodding toward Denver. But we soon turned off […]
Day Three: Kansas City to Denver.
22-Jul-13The friend we were staying with in Kansas City – Rachel, who was going to be coming with us and hiking in the Sierras – was at a show that evening for Father’s Day, and we made it to her house just as she was arriving back home around 10:30 in the evening. We had […]
American Trip Day 2
04-Jul-13We rose at 4 a.m. and left Buffalo in silence and darkness. We spent the entire day moving at top speed on interstates; we drove over a thousand miles in a single day. There is not much to report about a drive like this; as Steinbeck wrote, “with the completion of Interstate 80, it will […]
Day One: Across New York State.
03-Jul-13I spent four summers during college traveling around Europe, and I always felt a bit ashamed that so many of the Europeans I met there had seen so much more of America than I had: they had been to the Grand Canyon, driven Route 66, hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, seen San Francisco and Hollywood, […]
American Trip.
02-Jul-13I’m just about at the conclusion of a two-week trip in America which has involved two cross-country drives and ten days in the back country of the Sierra Nevada. I will attempt to do some writing about it as time opens up. For the next ten days I’ll be at Rusticatio Virginiana.
Eight Foot Giants with Double Teeth!
07-May-13On my most recent American road trip, to Michigan and back, I heard not once but twice, from different people, about a man who had just given a TED talk about the discovery, throughout America, of eight-foot-tall humanish skeletons with double rows of teeth. The claim sounded bogus, but I had nothing but respect for […]
Last month, after having lunch with a friend in Dumbo, I decided spontaneously to take a tour of the Watchtower buildings – the Jehovah’s Witnesses World Headquarters in Brooklyn Heights. It’s one of the things you grow up with in New York City – you tell the time and the temperature by it whenever you’re […]
Marcellus.
12-Jun-13“Possessing himself of the high points of the city, Marcellus, about break of day, entered Syracuse through the Hexapylum, all his officers congratulating him. But looking down from the higher places upon the beautiful and spacious city below, he is said to have wept much, commiserating the calamity that hung over it, when his thoughts […]
