Comment on I did leave my heart in San Francisco, part III by Dad

I don’t want to belabor the point, but when the no name bar didn’t have a name you considered yourself hip for knowing it was a bar. When they officially named it The No Name Bar and said so on a sign out front it became just another bar. The mystique was removed.

It’s the little things in life, Greg.

Lovely, Greg. I enjoyed every word of it. I’m sure you appreciate what a once-in-a-lifetime experience, that was: San Francisco, City Lights, one of the great bookstores of the world, meeting Gary Snyder and even getting a glimpse of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, all on your honeymoon. Honeymoons are always special, but that had to make yours extra special.

P.S. Not having a name at all is way cooler than naming a place No Name. That’s cheesy. And it wasn’t a neon cocktail glass; it was just a drawing of a cocktail glass.

P.S. You wrote this in ’04. Where are Parts I and II?

Comment on An Ultralight Thru-Hike of the Pacific Northwest Trail, The Interview: Gear by Forrest

It's interesting to read that he chose mostly Arc'teryx clothing for such a long trip through the back country. I tend to use their clothes and jackets for the hiking, winter cycling, and kayaking I do, and probably for most of the same reasons. .-= Forrest´s last blog ..Granite Mountain Lookout =-.

I wish I could have been there to hear the talk! Sam hiked from one of my favorite places ( Glacier National Park, aka Heaven ) to another favorite place, and where I live. It must have been an amazing adventure. I would love to do a hike like this myself, although I have to admit cycling 40 miles in a day is pretty intense ... I can't believe a person hiked that far, and then presumably got up and marched on the next day. Incredible! .-= Forrest´s last blog ..Granite Mountain Lookout =-.

Comment on A question of clean water by Greg

Hi Dave – thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment! I’m glad you enjoyed the film trailer… if you want to watch the whole thing (it’s about 25 minutes), you can do so here:

Glad you enjoyed the haibun, it really is a wonderful form and the process of writing a haibun piece every day for a month like that was transformative for me. I love the emphasis on the simplicity of language, the Zen thought, the seasonal observations, and the descriptions of journeys… all themes that I enjoy working with, and the haibun form just feels so right, and also seems to offer endless opportunity for exploration.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Cheers, Greg.
