My friend Jim McAvoy used to call me Neal Cassady all the time when I lived in Telluride and would drive through Boulder where he lived and crash on his couch all the random time. That reminds me about how I've always meant to write about the time I was traveling through San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico, where he died. Hmmm... I've seen that Haiku poetry, somewhere. I'd love to read some of them again! I love Neal Cassady, too, of course.

I asked another Drexel classmate at the the time and he agreed that it was another road trip experience that we had all been doing all along. I need to re read this book, more in the context of what I've learned in the last 25 years and more importantly, what I've learned what USA was like before all the highways were built. My generation is so jaded! Jimmy Craic Head Oh I so tried to get into this book back in 1981 or so but I thought it was so yadda yadda.

Ann Charter's Kerouac biography IS really interesting. I read a copy of it that you lent me, but it was falling apart, and by the time i got halfway through the book it was completely unbound.
