summer reading




as i was walking by my dresser this morning i glanced at the stack of books i had sitting on top and it occurred to me that a theme was emerging in my summer reading. trip books. and then i realized that this summer marks the twentieth anniversarry of a personal odyssey for me. back in 1989 i set out with four friends in a 1977 volkswagen westfalia from california and crossed all the way to the east coast and back. (though the vw died somewhere near waterbury, vt) i guess i've been subconciously remembering that trip and continuing to bookmark future ones in my mind. anyway, for someone who isn't really going anywhere this summer i'm enjoying the trip.
