    IN THE USA 2022

      In the USA 2022!

      It is January of 2022, in the Biden Covid era. I am on the road again, which I needed badly. Funny how I got here and where I am …

        When the game is afoot, I find the field of sports to be a great source of inspiration and entertainment.

          Journeys

          Many travel books and travel videos are immensely well done, although no amount of reading about or videos of the pyramids at Giza or a village in India can compare to the overwhelmingly physical and sensual experience of being there.

          My travel writings all seek to convey something intimate about the setting I am describing, to capture the “feel” of a unique place on the planet as experienced at a unique point in time by a unique narrator briefly passing through.

          Beach Body by Publius Ovidius Naso

          Mane erat: egreditur tectis ad littus; & illum
          Moesta locum repetit, de quo spectarat euntem,
          Dumque moratus ibi; dumque, Hic retinacula solvit,
          Hoc mihi discedens dedit oscula littore, dicit:
          Dumque notata oculis reminiscitur acta, fretumque
          Prospicit; in liquida spatio distante tuetur
          Nescio quid, quasi corpus, aqua; primoque, quid illud
          Esset, erat dubium. Postquam paulo appulit unda;
          Et quamvis aberat, corpus tamen esse liquebat;
          Qui foret, ignorans, quia naufragus, omine mota est;
          Et, tanquam ignoto lachrymam daret, Heu, miser, inquit,
          Quisquis es, & siqua est conjux tibi! fluctibus actum
          Fit propius corpus. Quod quo magis illa tuetur,
          Hoc minus, & minus est mentis. Iam iamque propinquae
          Admotum terrae, iam quod cognoscere posset,
          Cernit: erat conjux. Ille est, exclamat: & una
          Ora, comas, vestem lacerat: tendensque trementes
          Ad Ceyca manus, Sic, o carissime conjux,
          Sic ad me, miserande, redis? ait. Adjacet undis
          Facta manu moles: quae primas aequoris iras
          Frangit; & incursus quae praedelassat aquarium.
          Insilit huc: mirumque fuit potuisse; volabat:
          Percutiensque levem modo natis aera pennis,
          Stringebat summas ales miserabilis undas.
