Americana

Morning was overcast, I was chilly and cussing out Portland -- then cloud cover burned off, finally, and in the afternoon I got a lot of yard work done while listening to the Mariners, who were playing well for a change, and I felt like a character in Our Town, a real Americana kind of afternoon. Mariners won 2-1 in ten innings!

In my old age, I've come to some decisions.

The Great American Novel has been written. It's actually 3 novels. It's the USA trilogy by John Dos Passos.

The Great American Play has been written. It's The Skin Of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder.

Each captures the soul of America. Optimism. Anti-intellectualism. More is better. Chosen.
