Best loved dog stories, by Albert Payson Terhune
Hey Smithy, yeah I grew up sailing the Great Lakes, out of Chicago. My grandfather hailed from Galway, Ireland and had a serious addiction to boating, both sail and power. Among the twenty odd boats he owned over his time, two were Hinckleys, one of which is still in the family. I'm mostly a power boater these days though I do occasionally join my cousin for as sail off his place in Jamaica. We've been talking about taking an extended rum cruise, visiting the various Caribbean distilleries.Hi Tomasso, another yachtsman eh
Never seen a Hinckley in the flesh but they look to be beautiful tubs.
Do you have one yourself or do you crew at the local yacht club?

Just finished The Stranger, by Albert Camus. Ostensibly the story of a seemingly non-comittal French-Algerian who gets involved in a murder, and comes to terms with the absurdity of his situation, and of life in general.
Camus' epistle, The Myth of Sisyphus, read with Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin-was a college favorite;
yet his absurdism failed, never passing either the heart's whisper nor any soul muster.
I am going to find a copy of The Myth of Sisyphus and give it a shot....
