Today we are reading about Jack Kerouac, and seeing him read on television in 1959. Our host is Comment, Critique and Criticism.
Winter is upon us. I know because I have seen a man a felt hat. Straw hats are for summer. I put up the neighbors’ canning pears in wine. I picked key limes from my own tree and bought my Samhain pumpkin.
Axé.

ADVERTENCIA AL LECTOR.
1. While writing here is an excellent exercise for my English style and for writing as such, it is bad for my style in Spanish. Therefore some posts may be in languages other than English.
2. Corybantic, rather anarchical and possibly Liangian, this blog is opposed to everything I find mean. It may criticize things you hold dear. It resists authoritarianism and has little truck with received ideas.
3. This blog is a codex you have found. It speaks to one and all. But it also holds secrets and hides its face, for I who now perform the ancient text must adapt its words for modernity. I am a sculpted skull on a stela at Copán.
SE LES AGRADECE LA GENTIL COMPRENSION Y, COMO SIEMPRE, LA VISITA.

Kerouac and limes! How we grooved on *The Subterraneans.* I loved that story he wrote about being a fire lookout in a national park. His ecstasy about nature was so, well, cute. I guess I’m patronizing him and my younger self, but gee that was a long time ago.
Anyway, my limes are also ready. They are called Tahitian limes. I also have a so many avocadoes and pummelos (like grapefruit only larger and with tougher membranes), and we have been eating huge avocado and pummelo salads every day. Then there is the breadfruit. I made breadfruit chips and also breadfruit cooked in coconut milk yesterday. Excellent.
I love preparing and eating food from my yard.

Ah, la paix d’un beau jardin. Comment j’en ai envie asteur. Je suis encore au bureau. [Oh, the peace of a beautiful garden. How I long for that now. I am still at the office.]

And I have never read the Subterraneans, but should have spent more time generally reading good literature, and now it is a Google book …
