The question is a simple one: now that I'm back in the U.S. and--for the moment--just sort of hanging out and resting, should I continue the Travel Log or let it lie in abeyance until I'm on the road again, whether in Europe or the States?
i was sitting down splashing some light yellow on a canvas smoking a cigarette in the other hand and wondering why I could not manage to get the coffee in my mouth without spilling it
I thought of you being a poet an all and confess i made the mistake of helping some one I respected kick start their poetry forum jesus they are hateful places the worst thing the very worst thing is not indifference or being ignored it’s being assailed by the average mind
so you survived England floods bombs and the British museum that’s good traveling if you think about it figure the flight home must have been like being on the mayflower except star bucks was waiting and there was little chance of you being scalped after landing
ah yes to answer the question above write cooper you have an eye for detail that is heroic think Texas I was in El Paso in seventy four it caught my imagination as a boarder town I figure there is as much to write about there as the was over here
next time come down to Greece there’s lot of boat rides in between places islands and Anatolia to visit there’s no rain and the place is like being in the British museum except on a larger scale
A belated response from a bedraggled reader: I'm inclined toward your retaining the Travel Log's character as a travel blog by continuing to write of travel plans, of outfitting the Element for anticipated road-tripping, and so on while you cool your heels in Hell.
I've decided to use this blog, once strictly my "travel log," as a space to make others comments, on books, music, art, whatever. And of course when I head to London in August I'll make travel posts as well.

good afternoon cooper

the worst thing
the very worst thing is not indifference or being ignored
it’s being assailed by the average mind

I was in El Paso in seventy four it caught my imagination as a boarder town

warm regards jack
how about some hanging out commentry you know those things that catch your eye, engage your mind
I say keep it as a travel blog and start another blog for other things--my grad students all have multiple blogs.
