What Becomes You Blog. Archive for August 2007. Laquo; What Becomes You Blog home page. August 11, 2007. It’s national Blog Against Racism week. Following Augusto Boal’s axiom that your energy goes to whatever you focus on, I think I’ll Blog For World-Saving Adventures instead. I realize that though I am going to San Francisco, I have neglected to wear some flowers in my hair. In these situations I find it helpful to keep moving. In San Francisco secret spies shuttle me from one safe house to another.

What Becomes You Blog. Laquo; The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze. I’m very curious to see Atlanta. Atlanta looks like an airport. Then like the inside of a van. After a while, Atlanta looks like a hotel room. But first there is traffic. All traffic looks alike. So in spite of the fact that I’ve been up since four in the morning Pacific time, which in Atlantic time (Atlantic time? Is there an Atlantic time? Where the hell am I? In the morning the conference begins. At 9 o’clock I eat bre...Two rep...

Okay, I don’t exactly *heart* New York, but I like the city. This comes as surprising news; my last memory of New York City comes from the days when cockroaches and other forms of life could afford to live in the East Village. My brother said, “Come, visit! Which brings me to the topic of travertine. A heart of marble. 4 plural : ...

This time is necessary for the climb up to the Pearl Room atop Powell’s City of Books in Portland, surely the longest flight of stairs in the continental United States now that the upraised torch of the Statue of Liberty has been classified as an unacceptable security risk. Choose Powell’s Staff! At t-plus three minutes the hordes descend. While the che...

What Becomes You Blog. Archive for September 2007. Laquo; What Becomes You Blog home page. September 14, 2007. I am on an airline. Danger, Will Robinson. Late-breaking news flash from airline-land: The Department of Homeland Security has raised the Threat Level to Orange! No, wait, it’s been Orange for years. Perhaps they could use something old-fashioned and reliable instead, like homemade peach jam. The peach jam I am taking to my elderly and disabled father is apparently an illicit gel. I invite viewe...

What Becomes You Blog. Archive for May 2007. Laquo; What Becomes You Blog home page. May 23, 2007. I’m sitting in a coffeehouse in Victoria, British Columbia. A very young woman whose x-tra high-top Chuck Taylors are lined with faux leopard serves me organic free-range shade grown coffee and a gluten-free vegan biscuit as the stereo system in the background whines gently. Current soundtrack: “I’ve Got to Leave Old London Town”). Current soundtrack: “You Are So Beautiful”). I look like an American. The qu...

What Becomes You Blog. Archive for November 2007. Laquo; What Becomes You Blog home page. November 15, 2007. I head for Pullman, Washington in a rented car, a drive that many of those who live in the jungle cities of my adopted rain forest home assured me is both desolate and dangerous. They turn out to be wrong, but I may be biased. I’m from Nebraska, and find there is nothing like a hundred-mile horizion to put things in perspective. The river is wide now, mirror quiet. Above it rises the smooth co...
