I’ve taken to reading an absolutely wonderful book, Travels with Charley: In Search of America by one of the greatest american authors of all time, John Stenbeck. While I am sure all of you remember the enduring pain of The Grapes of Wrath in high school, this book is an amazing look at our wonderful country. Following are some selected quotes:

When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured by mature people people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked.

I am in love with Montana…Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.
