      "From California, out of Massachusetts by Michigan (as a horsebreeder would say)--in love with the 'ville and ready to go on. Lifetime traveler and (un)published writer."

His favorite quotation?

      "She pulled in her horizon like a great fishnet. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its wishes! She called in her soul to come and see."
            -Hurston's last sentences in Their Eyes Were Watching God, 1937.
