The home page and original site for the Famous Grazing Blogs

There are more than a dozen Famous Grazing Blogs residing on the cybersphere. Some are dormant and some very active. They all link back here to the Granddaddy of our blogs, founding in May of 2004.

Absalom, Absalom! in Alaska!

In a few days, I am scheduled to take a long journey from New England to Seattle to British Columbia to Alaska, with a side trip to the Yukon.

As you might imagine, what to bring is becoming more and more a question that needs answering. Having a geek centered mind, the laptop, blackberry, iPod and M50 Nikon are a given. Then there is the clothing. For ten days, eight dress shirts, a few sweaters, slacks and a light winter coat are recommended.

For reading I am bringing Strunk & White, Zinser’s On Writing Well and William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!. I have been looking for Richard Halliburton‘s Complete Book of Marvels, but have had little luck.  Perhaps the library might have it.

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Being an orphan boy myself, you would think it would be a sad day. Not so much.  With a wife and son, my own mother has faded into the past where she has long resided. Now, where am I getting flowers at this late stage in the game?
