Before I left on this trip, a friend suggested I read Travels with Charley, by Steinbeck. I already had a few books with me, so I figured I'd either pick it up along the way, or just read it when I got back. Fast forward a couple weeks to Albuquerque, and Rich and Galen give me an old copy (a 75 cent Bantam paperback from the Fredonia, AZ, library) as a going away gift (along with a cool t-shirt Rich designed for Galen's reservation bicycling program, not to be confused with the Native American motorcycle club).I've been reading the book on and off the past couple of weeks and it's quite good. Now, it seems, I'll be emulating Steinbeck as I'll be driving back to San Francisco next week with my dog, Paddington.
He's been staying up in Vancouver these past couple of years, and now it's my turn to watch the little monkey. I just hope it's not too hard to find a nice place that takes dogs.
