i should be packed , but i am not packed, and i will not be packed before i "crash" tonight…i have a mid-day flight to korea, so i will get up very early and in one hour do what i have not done in ten hours today….some things never change….and i am guessing no more …
william had it right …"parting" really really is "such sweet sorrow"…it just kills me every time to say goodbye to someone i care about…and i probably do that more than i do almost anything else….we all do…i had to do it today..i waved my youngest son and his wife out of sight in the new …
in a possibly weak and exhausted moment i wrote the "rawhide" piece below this evening…i am travel weary …. but a bit earlier, i did check the comments under the "beach bum" story, and i did write something there which i hope you will take the time to read… i would have posted it as …

the drive from new york to charlottesville, virginia is about 7 hours…..but it is like going from one planet to another…..we went from gridlock traffic in the morning to a peaceful campfire in the woods by evening..i will be “reporting” all this week from michael “nick” nichols “”Festival of the Photograph” which has transformed charlottesville …
