Washington coast
Thanks to Miriam Bobkoff
I traveled there alone once or twice in the late 1970s. I missed the ocean so much. It's a long long drive from Bellingham. It's a wild place. This brings that all back.

Memorial Day Weekend 2011
A heart-shaped cloud to the east:
As we enter Memorial Day Weekend, I want to recommend taking a look at:
Sacred Shadow, Sacred Ground, by Glenda M. Carter.
The American Widow Project.
This message.
As I was writing this post, a song from the American Civil War came to mind. I remember first hearing it when I was 13 or 14 years old, never imagining how my life and the lives of so many of my generation would be changed by the Vietnam War and the wars that have followed:
Further: Scroll down here, which places the "The Cruel War" in the Revolutionary War times and says that it is likely a tune from England.

... funny, engaging, intense, and he was persistent."
An old friend has been talking about Dr. Who? and so I went to YouTube to see what I could find and was delighted to find Charlie again.
And this:
Bob Dylan playing Dr. Who:
"Tug on anything at all and you'll find it connected to everything else in the universe."
(John Muir)
"... Wasn't making any great connection / Wasn't falling for any intricate scheme ..." (Bob Dylan, line from from "Series of Dreams")
Take a look at the 4th video here to hear Bob Dylan sing Woody Guthrie's "Do Re Me."
Suze Rotolo said that Bob Dylan was, "funny, engaging, intense, and he was persistent. These words completely describe who he was throughout the time we were together; only the order of the words would shift depending on mood or circumstance."
He still is.
Today is his 70th birthday.
We've all come a long way. Remember this from 1971?
I can picture Charlie Brown celebrating today, too. He must have had a favorite Bob Dylan song. You can tell by the way he smiles.
Happy Birthday, Bob!
