| How the world appeared as we drove to Logan at 4 AM |
I've kvetched about the absolute
dearth of breakfast joints open early at Logan airport. There's one. A promising looking diner-esque sort of place.
The food was painfully mediocre, the service wickedly slow but the coffee wasn't bad and I liked the atmosphere at least.
“What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they
recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the
too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to
the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”
-- Jack Kerouac

“what matters most is how well you walk through the fire”
-- Charles Bukowski
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and
narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these
accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be
acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's
lifetime.”
"I still enjoy traveling a lot. I mean, it amazes me that I still get excited in hotel rooms just to see what kind of shampoo they've left me."
-- Bill Bryson

and lastly, from
Raymond Carver:
“Woke up this morning with a terrific urge to lie in bed all day and read.”
A fine idea!
