Walking Across...What?: January 2015

http://walkingacrosswhat.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Walking Across. What. Thursday, January 1, 2015. When I was a boy (oh, God, here he goes again), the local paper had a little Sunday magazine that carried a feature listing local events that had occurred 10 years, 20 years, and 30 years before. I remember thinking the 10-year-old stuff wasn’t really all that. Long ago, but the 20-year-old stuff was pretty antique, and the 30-year-old stuff was nearly obscured by the mists of time.

Walking Across...What?: “...striding down Main Street with a determined look.”

http://walkingacrosswhat.blogspot.com/2014/05/striding-down-main-street-with.html

Walking Across. What. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. 8220;striding down Main Street with a determined look.”. It’s lovely to read or hear nice things about people you love. Not so great when they come as condolences, of course, but some of those notes and phone calls can be profoundly moving. And some really good ones, like the one I’ve excerpted as the title of this post, raise memories that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. Of course, he wasn’t perfect. He was mean. For important family events.

on a path with heart: WMG Red-lining

http://onapathwithheart.blogspot.com/p/wmg-red-lining.html

On a path with heart. Ramblings on hiking, tomfoolery, and folly in new england. Red-lining, what is it? Leaving out a long description, it's basically hiking all the trails in an area. In this case, it's hiking all the trails in the AMC White Mountain Guide. The current edition (29th) includes 608 trail, covering a fairly staggering 1440.4 miles. As with all the other hiking goals since, this was heavily influenced by my starting the White Mountain 4000-footer list, back in 2010. The Mahoosuc Range Area.

Walking Across...What?: Hanging in there

http://walkingacrosswhat.blogspot.com/2013/02/laughter-may-not-be-best-medicine-but.html

Walking Across. What. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. My dad’s been failing for some time. About a year ago, we brought him down to live in the apartment over our garage. This wasn’t easy in let me count the ways, and it wasn’t until summer that he allowed himself to feel comfortable and moderately content. An explosive, indignant “No way! Our slender saving grace right now is that we’re still capable of reacting the way we both did. We laughed. Good luck, Mark. February 6, 2013 at 7:56 AM. Your own sanity is...

Walking Across...What?: Blue binder

http://walkingacrosswhat.blogspot.com/2014/11/blue-binder.html

Walking Across. What. Friday, November 21, 2014. Well, lurking quietly in the corner, at the bottom of a pile, hoping to be ignored in the clean-out, here’s an ancient blue 3-ring binder holding a career’s worth of addresses and phone numbers. On the back of some of the pages, the occasional doodle, list, or bits of terrible protest doggerel, scribbled almost certainly during an excruciating phone call with a magazine editor. A representative example:. Cut, he cried,. It’s way too long. Who gives a bleat?

Walking Across...What?: Now that’s the ticket!

http://walkingacrosswhat.blogspot.com/2014/11/now-thats-ticket.html

Walking Across. What. Tuesday, November 18, 2014. I’ve been digging deep into the detritus of my life (you could say “the mess in my office” if you wanted to be mundane about it). Today I surfaced a collection of autographs: Ted Williams, Nellie Fox, Bob Feller, Jimmy Piersall, the golfer Doug Ford, and, best of all, a non-autograph: a ticket stub from the 1964 US Olympic pre-Trials at Randall’s Island. Scrawny as I was—“ah, your arms are just for balance.”). Archie San Romani Jr! The idols of my youth.
