When I was in high school I discovered the real difference that warmth and sunshine could make in my life. Growing up in the city, I lived in a huge, drafty house built a hundred years before we moved in. Nights between October and May were spent under so many layers of blankets that I [...]

The Art of Suffering

Last year I wanted to go to NYC and see the exhibit “Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night” at MoMa. Unfortunately, we missed it and since then I have been periodically checking art museums within a reasonable radius for exhibits I might like to see. Recently, Yim and I were able to plan [...]
Postcard from the Edge

My GREAT friend Christine made this for us. She’s a graphic designer now residing in Pensacola, Florida. We met in 1997 when we used to raise hell waiting tables at Mario’s in the South Side. You can’t begin to imagine. Someday I’ll tell you about it. You’re too young to handle it. Anyway, she’s been [...]
So, you were wondering where I’ve been…….

After leaving Jenny’s we headed for the Redwood National Park. Once we got past the vineyards and slaughterhouses, northern California reminded me a lot of Oregon. A very natural coastal region. With LOTS of hippies and drifters. This is around the time the word about our trip must have really gotten out, because more and [...]

Ahh, I see you are wondering what has happened to the three Santucci’s. Well, I won’t tell you just yet. For now, let’s get back to business. We left Coronado and San Diego on August 10th. Some stress had begun to build up since Las Vegas. Did I mention how civilization slapped us in the [...]

The following post comes to you from in front of my tepee on the Continental Divide! We are in Glen, Montana tonight and ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT!!!!

The West Coast

The west coast occupied the majority of our travels. It’s the only part of the trip where we stopped to stay and visit with friends, which is how it took up 17 days (I think). Both my brain and the internet are working slow this morning, so I’ll see what I can do. We are [...]
Day 6…continued

We left Bryce Canyon and moved on towards Zion National Park, which is virtually around the bend. Just when you think you’ve really seen the most beautiful thing, Utah gives you Zion and you can’t decide which is better. Bryce is delicate and more detailed, like lace. Zion is bigger, the palette is softer, and [...]
Day 6

Just to let you know, I am posting this post from Seattle. Here I sit in Erica’s back yard on an early (not so early) Seattle Saturday morning. She has a lovely place to stay here and Mummy and I are very comfortable. The house she is sitting looks so much like something out of [...]

We left Kearney, Nebraska this morning at 7:50 am. Ride Hopper: “Uh, could you give me a lift to the next grass station?” We’ve traveled 1,199.1 miles to date. Yesterday my car reached 70,000 miles. (I heard a rumor through Stephanie that some people don’t think I’m doing ALL the driving. I assure all you [...]
